The Janet Seagraves Family Foundation, Inc. aims to grant funds to non-profit organizations, schools, religious entities, and governmental entities in the region between the Northern boundary of Nevada and the Northern boundary of Custer County, Idaho, including Custer and Butte counties. Its mission focuses on supporting education and education-related activities, providing assistance to non-profits benefiting families and/or children, furthering humanitarian principles through grants, and supporting non-profits dedicated to the humane treatment of animals.
The Foundation's grant program involves bi-monthly meetings by its Board of Directors to review grant applications. For requests under $10,000, decisions are generally made at the next meeting after receiving an application. Bigger grant requests undergo a review process, with the most promising invited to present at a Large Grant Meeting held twice a year. The grant supports diverse causes within the specified geographic area such as education, family and children's welfare, humanitarian efforts, and animal humane treatment.
