Absarokee, Montana starts community foundation

December 26, 2007

Absarokee has no mayor, no police department and no town council. But the few thousand people living in the Absarokee and Fishtail areas share a community foundation that would be the envy of many larger cities.

The Absarokee Community Foundation, established in 2000, has raised more than $210,000 toward a permanent endowment. Already, the foundation has doled out nearly $100,000 to groups including the Absarokee Fire Department, the Absaroka Fine Arts and the Stillwater Senior Center.
