What We Do
​In a nutshell, the Absarokee Community Foundation helps local service and professional organizations build a stronger community by supporting their projects through monetary grants. The Foundation also has a permanent endowment fund established in order to plan for and ensure a thriving community into the future.​
Who We Are
