The GGCF took a leadership role in organizing a community visioning to see where we want our community to be in 2020. Facilitated by MSU Extension Local Government Center, Dan Clark and Betsy Webb, the top priorities emerging from that February 2011 session were: community center, solve flood plain issue, housing and revitalize downtown. Here’s more detailed results.

We make a living by what we get,
we make a life by what we give.
—Sir Winston Churchill

Studies show that Dawson County residents will transfer $70 million dollars from one generation to the next in the next 10 years. If just 5% of that money could go to local projects, imagine what a difference it could make in the long term viability of Glendive and Dawson County.

Tax deductible donations give back to the community as donations are invested, and your legacy lives on. Your financial gifts or assets allow the Greater Glendive Community Foundation Board to select areas of need and community projects from applications across Dawson County.

Giving locally comes back — to make Dawson County a great place to live, work and raise a family.
