Missoula nonprofits brace for fundraising challenges in "these particular times"

Raising money isn’t hard, it’s just hard work, something Kim Klein likened to getting stoned to death by popcorn. But if money is needed, she added, nonprofits must learn to ask for it, especially in "these particular times."

Bracing for changes brought by state and federal budget cuts and the newly passed tax plan, nonprofit leaders gathered in Missoula on Wednesday for a crash course on raising revenue to support what represents one of Montana’s largest economic drivers.

Nonprofits provide more than 11 percent of all Montana jobs. Missoula alone is home to 232 wage-paying nonprofits that range from domestic violence to the environment, poverty, housing and equality. Without the generosity of donors, coupled with dwindling state and federal revenues, many of those efforts will face challenging times.
