Strengthening our Future -- Sunburst, MT Sunburst was once home to a Texaco Refinery. However, as the appeals process went on, that money accrued interest.

In 2004, a suit was won by members of Sunburst for restoration and clean-up. The Supreme Court ruled that this interest must be given to charity. Instead of giving this lump sum to one organization outside of Sunburst, the Sunburst Community Foundation (SCF) was formed. This kept the money at home for you. Over the past three years, this foundation has given a considerable amount of money to the

community and is investing a portion too! It is this foundations goal to grow the money and every year give to needed community projects. This is Sunburst’s money, what do you want done with it? Come join the foundation committee or just come and learn more about what is happening by joining us the 2nd Monday of the month at 5pm in the Sunburst Library. Since 2009, the SCF has given $31,646 to the following organizations:
Sunburst Lutheran Church (Senior Center)
Marias Healthcare (Sunburst Clinic)
NTCDG
NTC Ambulance
NTC Fire Department
Toole County Library Sunburst
Sunburst FCCLA
Sunburst School District
Town of Sunburst (Swimming Pool)
Sunburst Lutheran Church (Quilters)

The SCF has also offered an Estate Planning Seminar & Grant Writing Workshops to our community. Our current board members are:
Lynda Clark, Peg Tobin, Nancy Linnell, Lindsay Sandon, Cole Ratzburg & Blair Tomsheck

$37 Billion will transfer from one generation to the next in Montana between 2020 and 2030. Imagine if 5% of that was left for Montana communities. Quick math tells us that $1.85 billion would perpetually support organizations, causes, and people in Montana; creating vibrant and thriving communities.
Montana Community Foundation President & CEO, Mary Rutherford, presented on the Transfer of Wealth study MCF conducted to discover these statistics. “Our goal is to get people to start thinking what happens to their favorite (charity or) organization when they can no longer support them," she stated. Leaving behind 5% would provide continued support for the organizations you care about.
