Gianforte Foundation Top 10 Countdown

Previous blogs illustrated a picture of the Gianforte Family Foundation, their considerable wealth, and their conservative Christian giving philosophy.  We want to start to drill down to better understand the network of giving.  So, let’s start with the Top 10 Gianforte Family Foundation grantees from 2005 to 2020 who received a total of $57,067,630.  (Blog Note: 2020 is the most recent tax public record available from the IRS.) 

Detailed below is a table of the Top 10 Rank Order Gianforte Family Foundation Grantees, Giving Total from 2005 -2020, and each Grantee Organization Mission.

 The next blog series will focus on each of these grantee organizations separately. How do these top grantees impact people's lives and communities?  Is there a relationship to current efforts in Montana to impact public policy?  Stay tuned as we begin with Child Bridge, a featured guest at Governor Gianforte’s 2023 State of the State Address.
