Nominate the Harvestfest 2026 Beneficiary

Each year, Harvestfest, put on by the Columbia Falls Area Chamber of Commerce, selects one local nonprofit, community group, or family in need to receive a portion of the event proceeds and support from our generous community. We invite you to help us identify this year’s beneficiary by submitting a nomination.

Nominees must live in Hungry Horse or a surrounding community and provide programs and services that directly support the the area. Use this form to tell us who you believe should be considered and why their work—or their current circumstances—make them a meaningful fit for Harvestfest 2026.

Nomination Deadline: August 19, 2026 All nominations will be reviewed by the Harvestfest Committee, and the selected beneficiary will be announced in early fall.
