Give where you live! (To cut to the chase, click here to donate right now to the museum.)
There are two weeks left in the Great Fish Community Challenge, which rallies support for 85 nonprofits that make life in the Flathead Valley even better. The Northwest Montana History Museum, which draws more than 10,000 visitors and hosts nearly 150 events a year, is proud to be among the nonprofits selected for the campaign.
The annual campaign, orchestrated by the Whitefish Community Foundation, raises millions for valley nonprofits, providing a percentage match for organizations that raise at least $10,000. All donations to the museum raised through the campaign go to the museum, in addition to the match. Your donations are maximized through the campaign and provide a much-needed boost to help the museum maintain operations and expand programming.
The museum is more than halfway to qualifying for the match! Can you help?
In 2025, the loss of four historic funding sources, including Humanities Montana, means the Great Fish Community Challenge is more essential than ever.
Visit here to donate online, or stop by one of the remaining pop-up donation stations from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., listed below.
The campaign ends Sept. 12. Thank you for your support regardless of how, where, and what you give!
