The Edward’s Charitable Foundation was established with the mission of providing financial support to Montana communities and organizations. Since 2017, Edward’s Charitable Foundation has worked to create and build stronger communities at the grassroots level. We work with donors, charitable organizations, cities and towns to empower and strengthen citizens and fostering community development.
Edward’s Charitable Foundation provides area residents with a means to give back to their Montana community. ECF supports healthcare, essential services, educational, civic, cultural and recreational projects in Montana and grants have been awarded since its founding.
Here at the Edward’s Charitable Foundation, we care about Montana. It’s not just the place where we live and work, it’s our home. Since our early beginnings, the ECF has worked tirelessly to create permanent philanthropy and build stronger communities. Our work with community members, charitable organizations, and local organizations plays a critical role in both philanthropic and community development. Since our founding, ECF has reinvested in Montana through scholarships, grants, and programs.
