Great Fish Community Challenge

GIVING TOGETHER FOR THE FLATHEAD VALLEY!

The Great Fish Community Challenge is a multi-week fundraising campaign that inspires community-wide giving and builds awareness about the critical work of Flathead Valley nonprofits. North Valley Music School is honored to participate in such an impactful campaign.

Since 2015, the Great Fish Community Challenge has raised over $28 million for Flathead Valley nonprofit organizations.

NVMS will use funds for programs and operations to change lives through music. NVMS is dedicated to enriching our Montana communities through music education, appreciation, and performance by providing musical opportunities for all.

2024 Goal: $125,000.

Whitefish Community Foundation organizes the Challenge free of charge and awards a percentage match on the first $25,000 raised by each nonprofit. Donors can choose to give to multiple organizations with one transaction. Beginning Aug. 8, donations can be made online , by check or cash accompanied by the official Great Fish donation form, or through a gift of stock or distribution from an IRA. The Challenge ends at 5 p.m. on September 13, 2024.

Music matters and music needs you!
