It is such a joy to be participating in the Whitefish Community Foundation’s Great Fish Community Challenge with so many other nonprofits who are also dedicated to fostering a love of learning in our community.

Thanks for the choosing us, Flathead Library Foundation! We love that book. 💛📚

Welcome to the Nonprofit Book Club where we match different local nonprofits with a book from the Flathead Libraries through the Great Fish Community Challenge.

Next up is Kalispell Education Foundation. The book we chose for our friends at Kalispell Education Foundation is Miss Nelson is Missing! by Harry Allard.

Funds raised for the Kalispell Education Foundation during the Great Fish Community Challenge will be used to will provide funding for exceptional learning opportunities in Kalispell Public Schools that go beyond the limitations of the standard budget. These opportunities are designed to inspire, engage, and enrich student learning.

There truly is something for everyone at the library.

What if your dollar could go even further?

Every donation you give during the Great Fish Community Challenge until September 11th has the potential to be matched by the Whitefish Community Foundation. This means more opportunities for kids, more teacher support, and more funds invested in where you live.

No matter the size of the gift, you're making a big impact in your community. ➡️ https://whitefishcf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=2651
