Montana’s nonprofits generated over $11 billion in income in 2021
Last year’s funds generated by nonprofits are returned back to the state through mission-driven work. These are all-volunteer organizations, neighbors helping neighbors. Examples of these organizations include little leagues, PTAs, 4-H clubs, and more! Nonprofits are the pillars and providers of vital service for rural and urban Montanans. Healthcare, after school programs, college scholarships, senior housing, museums, food pantries, homeless shelters, affordable housing, and more are all made possible in Montana through the hard work of nonprofits. In addition, 48% of all charitable nonprofits in Montana operate with a budget of less than $500.
Charitable nonprofits operate in every region of Montana.
They drive the economy, keep government small, bring efficiencies and resources to their communities, and are essential to Montana’s vitality and prosperity. 37% of charitable nonprofits operate in rural areas and make up 31% of nonprofit employment.
