Small Act, Big Impact: $3,000 Grants for Billings Nonprofits

If you know a local nonprofit that’s been quietly doing big things in our community, the kind that makes sure families are fed, kids have opportunities, or neighbors get the help they need, they deserve to be recognized. The Franz Bakery Foundation is giving Billings organizations a chance to get a little boost through its 14th Annual Spirit of Giving program.

$3,000 Grants Up for Grabs

Franz will be selecting 20 nonprofits across the region to each receive a $3,000 grant. That’s real money that can help fund programs, buy supplies, or keep the lights on through the holidays. And here’s the best part, you don’t have to be part of the organization to nominate them. If you know a 501(c)(3) nonprofit doing great work in Billings or anywhere Franz serves, you can submit their name yourself.

How to Nominate a Local Nonprofit

It’s simple. Just head to franzspiritofgiving.com and click the “Nominate” button. You’ll need to submit your nomination by Sunday, November 9th to be considered. Franz reviews all applications in early December, and selected organizations are notified by email, with checks going out within a few weeks.

Who Qualifies for the Franz Spirit of Giving Grant

To be eligible, the nonprofit must be a registered 501(c)(3) and located in one of the states Franz Bakery serves, including right here in Montana. The foundation focuses on organizations that support families, youth development, and hunger reduction, three areas that couldn’t be more important to our community.

Celebrating the Local Heroes Who Keep Billings Strong

Franz has always believed that strong communities start with kindness, compassion, and respect. Their Spirit of Giving program is about lifting up the people and organizations that make a real difference. From food banks to youth mentorship programs, these are the groups that make Billings feel like home.
