Missoula’s Biggest Day of Giving Returns April 30

It’s that time of year again when Western Montana really shows up for one another.

Community Support on the Rise

Nonprofits across the region are feeling the pressure right now, and many are relying on community support to keep their programs going. That’s what makes Missoula and Bitterroot Gives such an important moment. 

Join the 24-Hour Giving Movement

The annual 24-hour giving event officially kicks off April 30 through May 1, bringing together dozens of nonprofit organizations from across Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley. It’s a simple idea with a big impact: one central place where you can learn about local nonprofits and donate directly to causes that matter to you. 

There’s no shortage of causes to support. Whether you’re passionate about environmental conservation, education, the arts, community services, or local events, you’ll find organizations doing meaningful work right here in Western Montana. 

Discover Local Causes That Matter

One of the biggest advantages of this event is the discovery. You might go in planning to support a favorite nonprofit, but end up learning about several others you didn’t even know existed.

There's also an added incentive to give. Many organizations have matching donations lined up, meaning your contribution could be doubled if they hit certain fundraising goals. That can make even a small donation go a long way. 

For a community like Missoula, which has long been known for its strong nonprofit presence, events like this highlight just how much local impact these groups have every day.

If you’re able to give, this is one of the easiest and most effective ways to do it. And if you’re not in a position to donate, simply sharing information about the event or your favorite organizations can still make a difference. 

Missoula and Bitterroot Gives runs April 30 through May 1. It’s a chance to support the people and programs that help keep Western Montana strong.
