Sustaining Montana Communities Through Philanthropy

The Spring 2012 issue, titled Sustaining Montana Communities Through Philanthropy, examines the various challenges and opportunities regarding the transferable wealth that may be leaving the state in coming years. Montana faces a tremendous opportunity to capture some of this wealth and direct it towards building communities and creating programs to help them flourish. The articles focus on overviews of community foundations and philanthropic organizations, strategic partnerships between the federal government and charitable groups, inheritance laws and upcoming policy changes, factors and motivations behind charitable giving in rural and urban Montana, and inspiring stories of successful philanthropy in communities across the region and throughout the U.S.
