Another GREAT result of the Horizons process and community meetings was the creation of the Redwater Community Foundation (RCF). The RCF formed a partnership with the Montana Community Foundation ( http://www.mtcf.org/ ). This partnership created a local community foundation that will make available to the community (the entire area of McCone County) a permanent method of making available some funding for local needs and projects. It also makes available the opportunity for those that are willing to donate a way to permanently give to the community to help meet its needs.

The Foundation has been active and has as of 4/1/08 raised: $20,000.00

And has Given:
$3,000 - Brockway Fire Truck
$1,000 - Multi-purpose building at the Fair grounds
$750.00 - New ambulance
$250.00 - Playground equipment at Prairie Elk School

The RCF has also receive a grant from Montana Community Foundation in the amount of $15,000
to build the concrete foundation for the new Multi-Purpose building at the Fair Grounds.

The RCF has generated a number of nice short stories in the local Newspaper and has been a wonderful asset right from the beginning.

The local area Chamber of Commerce has worked with the group to develop a web page:
