About Us
The Nate Chute Foundation supports, educates and empowers our community to promote mental wellness and reduce suicide.
The Nate Chute Foundation was founded in 1999 by Terry Chute and Jane Kollmeyer. Thanks to unwavering community support, NCF has grown from an all volunteer, kitchen table organization to a robust nonprofit employing 5 staff and serving communities throughout northwest Montana.
In the beginning, our primary focus was to meet the needs of the community as they arose. We provided financial assistance for training teachers, local clergy and police officers; funded suicide prevention commercials on local television stations; supported the Whitefish High School ROPES program; offered funding for Whitefish CARE; supported depression screening for students; and provided financial assistance for mental health counseling.?
Presently, NCF provides evidence-based training and educational programs to schools across the Flathead Valley, as well as to various organizations and communities. These initiatives aim to foster resilience, recognize signs of suicidal behavior.
