Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

The leaders of Montana’s nonprofit organizations can’t overlook the contributions of the thousands of volunteers who help the groups complete their work, a national nonprofit sector leader said Tuesday.

Speaking at the seventh annual convention of the Montana Nonprofit Association http://www.mtnonprofit.org/, Jan Masaoka of San Francisco — regularly named one of the “50 Most Influential People” in the country’s nonprofit sector — said nonprofits down-play the contributions of volunteers at their peril.
