Great Falls, Mont. – Calumet Montana and Montana Renewables today announced $70,000 in community investments through the Calumet Cares Charitable Giving Program, supporting youth education and public safety in Cascade County.
The investments include an $11,000 donation to NeighborWorks Great Falls in support of its High School House Program, the purchase of more than 50 student work jackets valued at approximately $9,000, and a $50,000 donation to the Black Eagle Volunteer Fire Department Foundation to support emergency response equipment enhancements.
“Strong communities are built through strong partnerships,” said Mariah Mandt, General Manager of Calumet Montana and Montana Renewables. “We are proud to support organizations that create opportunities for students and provide first responders with the resources they need to serve our communities.”
The donation to NeighborWorks Great Falls supports the High School House Program, which provides students with hands-on construction experience while introducing them to careers in the skilled trades.
The donation to the Black Eagle Volunteer Fire Department Foundation aligns with the Calumet Cares focus area of first responder support and will help strengthen emergency response capabilities for the Black Eagle community.
From preparing students for future careers to equipping volunteer firefighters to respond when needed most, these investments demonstrate the impact of community partnerships and the shared commitment to building a stronger future for Great Falls and Black Eagle.
