Clearwater is committed to being a force for good. One way we do that is by donating 5% of our annual net income to Montana nonprofit organizations.
Apply for Funding
If you're a nonprofit organization who supports one or more of our impact areas shown below, we invite you to submit a funding request. We’ll consider funding for general operating funds, specific projects, fundraising events, and other requests that will help your organization have an impact.
We work to help people overcome challenges and make the most of opportunities by providing support for things like vocational training, housing assistance, credit building, and transportation.
Through this impact area, we support social and economic development actions and interventions that help people and communities meet basic needs, including affordable housing, food security, community childcare, and economic development.
Within this impact area, we focus on activities that promote environmental stewardship, conservation, and sustainability that make for a cleaner, healthier Montana and the world at large.
Almost all of our philanthropic donations go to organizations within the communities we serve. In general, we do not fund, individuals, youth sports, electoral campaigns, nor activities that do not align with our areas of impact shown above. Our Philanthropy Committee typically reviews all applications within one month. For questions about your application or our philanthropy guidelines in general, please email us.
Every Clearwater co-worker receives 24 hours of paid time to volunteer in our communities.
Clearwater awards $20,000 in scholarships annually to graduating high school seniors. Visit our Scholarship Program page for more info.
