The Steele-Reese Foundation, a trust for charitable purposes, was created by Eleanor Steele Reese in 1955. The Foundation makes grants to charitable organizations operating in the western states of Idaho and Montana, and in the southern Appalachian mountain region of eastern Kentucky. PLEASE NOTE: Appalachian Region grants are ONLY made in the counties identified by the Appalachian Regional Commission in eastern Kentucky. The Foundation no longer makes grants to organizations in North Carolina or Tennessee.

The Steele-Reese Foundation supports projects in education, health, human/social services, arts/humanities, and conservation/preservation. Applications from organizations operating outside of these regional or programming areas will not be eligible for funding consideration. For information about how to contact us, or how to apply for grants, please see the Contact Us and How to Apply pages of this web site.

PLEASE NOTE: The Foundation requires all applicants to submit their proposals electronically. Please see the How to Apply page of this web site for instructions about the application process. An application worksheet is available for your review, and we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the application questions and space available for responses prior to completing your submission.
