The Seeley Lake Community Foundation is a locally driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving Seeley Lake, a small, rural, unincorporated community in Western Montana.

Beyond grant-making, it acts as a clearinghouse for community needs, provides a technical resource for local nonprofits, encourages philanthropy, and runs direct services including the I Ride medical appointment shuttle, Coffee & Computers tech support, and glass recycling events. The foundation was founded in 2000 by local residents, has grown its endowment to more than half a million dollars, and is based in the Foundation Building in downtown Seeley Lake. It is governed by a volunteer board of directors and works with the Montana Community Foundation to invest its endowment funds.
