One of the most common questions we hear from fundholders and donors is, what is happening in the nonprofit sector, and where are the greatest needs right now?

To help answer that question, we invite you to join us for In Our Backyard: Nonprofits by the Numbers, part of One Valley Community Foundation’s In Our Backyard donor dialogue series, created specifically for fundholders and our closest supporters. These conversations are designed to help donors explore critical issues in Gallatin County in a thoughtful, supportive setting, and to better understand how generosity can move from intent to impact.

Presented in partnership with the Montana Nonprofit Association, this session will use statewide and Gallatin County data to examine the role and reach of nonprofits across our region. Together, we will explore key trends shaping nonprofit services, fundraising, and employment, and discuss what these realities mean for donors who want to give strategically and effectively.

Who is this for?
This session is designed for donors and fundholders who are seeking deeper context, clearer insight, and actionable understanding of today’s nonprofit landscape. You will leave with a stronger grasp of both the challenges nonprofits are navigating and the opportunities where philanthropic support can make the greatest difference.

Please note, this session is intended only for donors and is separate from a nonprofit-specific session taking place on February 11th. Nonprofit professionals are encouraged to attend that session, which you can learn more about here.
