On January 30th we were fortunate to be able to attend Nonprofit Day at the Capitol hosted by Montana Nonprofit Association. We gathered with over 200 other nonprofits from across Montana to meet with local legislators, advocate for issues important to nonprofits and our clients, and network with colleagues from around the state. A couple things we learned:

The Nonprofit sector in Montana is GROWING (Ravalli County alone has seen a 26% increase).

Our state and local leaders rely on us to advocate for our services so they can stay informed about the issues (we have a voice!).

How our legislative process works (by sitting in on House Bill hearings).

If you would like to get involved or receive more information on advocacy work please contact Cathy at corr@ravalliccoa.org
