North Yellowstone Education Foundation
About this Organization
The North Yellowstone Education Foundation (NYEF) is committed to supporting Gardiner Public Schools (GPS) and enhancing the Gardiner, Montana community. Founded in 2016 amid declining enrollment and loss of funding, NYEF strives to preserve the rich history, unique culture, and vibrant community of Gardiner, which is located at the entrance to Yellowstone National Park.
The school is a crucial element of Gardiner's identity and serves as a community anchor and gathering place. It is a nexus of kinship, a cornerstone of stability, and fundamental to the well-being of the community. However, with enrollment at an all-time low, real estate prices soaring, and mental and behavioral health needs on the rise, Gardiner is at a critical juncture.
To address these challenges, NYEF has developed three program areas: Connect! Grants, Teacher Housing Initiatives, and Mental and Behavioral Health Efforts.
