Here are a few of the organizations we fund, or have funded in the past:
American Farmland Trust – The mission of American Farmland Trust is to help farmers and ranchers protect their land, produce a healthier environment and build successful communities.
The Yellowstone Park Foundation - “The Yellowstone Park Foundation is the official fundraising partner of Yellowstone National Park. We work in cooperation with the National Park Service to fund projects and programs that protect, preserve, and enhance the natural and cultural resources and the visitor experience of Yellowstone.”
Clark Fork Coalition – Founded in 1985, the Clark Fork Coalition is dedicated to protecting and restoring the Clark Fork River basin, a 22,000-square-mile area draining western Montana and northern Idaho. They have a 23-year-long record of substantial achievements improving the health of the watershed.
Five Valleys Land Trust - Five Valleys Land Trust is a community-supported non-profit conservation organization with a mission to “preserve and protect western Montana’s natural legacy—our river corridors, wildlife habitat, agricultural lands, and scenic open spaces.”
Missoula County Food Bank – “At Missoula Food Bank, our mission is to respond to the emergency food needs of the hungry and work to reduce the incidence of hunger and its effects on individuals, families and the community. Each year we distribute more than 250 tons of food – canned goods, fresh produce, bakery items, cereal, baby food, formula and more – to Missoula area residents. That’s enough to serve roughly 1,000 households a month.”
Ranchers Stewardship Alliance – The mission of the Ranchers Stewardship Alliance is to promote the ecological, social and economic conditions that will sustain the biodiversity and integrity of America’s northern mixed-grass prairie for present and future generations.

Seed Savers Exchange – “Seed Savers Exchange is a non-profit, member supported organization that saves and shares the heirloom seeds of our garden heritage, forming a living legacy that can be passed down through generations. Our loyal SSE members have distributed an estimated 1 million samples of rare garden seeds since our founding nearly 35 years ago. Those seeds now are widely used by seed companies, small farmers supplying local and regional markets, chefs and home gardeners and cooks, alike.”
Missoula Art Museum – The Missoula Art Museum strives to engage artists and audience in the creative exploration of contemporary art relevant to our community, state and region.
International Wildlife Film Festival – The International Wildlife Media Center & Film Festival works to promote awareness, knowledge and understanding of wildlife, habitat, people and nature through excellence in film, television, and other media.
