The Wilsall Foundation, Inc. was founded in 2009 to assist residents of Shields Valley in times of crisis, financial need, and to assist other organizations. It was the vision of our founders to leave Shields Valley a better place than they found it. Hand-selected by our founders, the initial board of directors was entrusted with the task of both assisting the community in times of financial crisis and constructing creative ways to ensure the continued economic success of the communities of Wilsall and Clyde Park. The mission statement of The Foundation is "to sustain and enhance the quality of life in the Shields Valley by providing financial assistance to individuals and other organizations." Faced with unexpected financial hardships in times of crisis, the Wilsall Foundation serves as a soft landing financially for those who are forced to deal with emergencies, both personally and economically. When experiencing a crisis, the assistance the Foundation offers helps families focus on what is important, rather than worry about how they will be able to pay their bills, purchase groceries, heat their homes, and sometimes keep their homes.
