🏫

Education

Supporting nonprofits that expand access to learning — from early childhood programs and after-school enrichment to scholarships and workforce development.

🤝

Intellectual & physical disabilities

Funding organizations that provide services, advocacy, and community inclusion for Great Falls residents living with intellectual or physical disabilities.

🏠

Families in hardship

Assisting nonprofits that support families navigating financial crisis, food insecurity, housing instability, or other unexpected hardships.

Our story

“We've been part of Great Falls since 1954. This foundation is our way of giving back to the community that helped our family grow.”

What started as a family-owned Chevrolet dealership has grown into a multi-generation commitment to this community. City Motor Company has served Great Falls for over 70 years — and the Oakland Family Foundation is the next chapter of that story.

We created this foundation to invest in the 501(c)(3) organizations doing essential work in education, disability services, and family support across Cascade County.
