Because of your incredible generosity, we are thrilled to announce that we not only reached our $50,000 Stuff the Bus goal—we surpassed it, raising more than $52,000 to help local students start the school year with the supplies they need to succeed!

Every donation, every shared post, every sponsorship, and every act of kindness made this possible. Together, you've shown what our community can accomplish when we rally around our students. Your support will help ensure that children head back to school feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

If you know of a student who needs assistance with school supplies, please visit our website to find their school's Stuff the Bus contact: https://www.angelfundhelena.org/StuffTheBus

Families should reach out to their school the week before classes begin to learn how to access available supplies.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for investing in the future of our students. Your generosity is making a lasting difference in classrooms across our community. Here's to another successful Stuff the Bus campaign—and to helping every child start the school year strong! ❤️

The Angel Fund Board of Directors recently announced the recipients of our 2026 Montana post-secondary
Angel Fund Scholarship Program.

Scholarships are based on financial need as a priority,
academic success, and a commitment to give back to their
community. Five 2026 Helena area graduates will receive a
$2,000-$3,000 scholarship to help with college expenses
in their freshman year. We also assist several continuing
students with renewal scholarships for their upcoming years.

We are honored to help these outstanding young adults begin
their college education this fall and make a difference in their
future. Angel Fund is humbled and grateful for the generosity
of sponsors and contributors each year who prioritize
education. Thank you for “paying it forward” so that another
student can attend college and follow their dream!
