Quotes from this year’s grantees

“RLACF has been an enormous resource to our organization from the start, and we are so grateful to be one of this year’s Community Grant recipients. Though we’re a new non-profit and off the beaten path here in Roscoe, we have felt seen and encouraged every step of the way by the RLACF staff. We’re excited to put the grant to good use as we continue our work of renovating the original Roscoe post office to become a thriving literary arts space for our community.“

-Caroline from River Arts and Books

“The Red Lodge Area Foundation Community Grant will enable us to place chain link fencing at the Fromberg Baseball Field to enhance safety issues and provide potential economic opportunities by selling banner advertising spaces. We thank the Foundation for making the impossible possible!”

-Tammy from the Fromberg Improvement Committee
