One Montana’s mission is to sustain a vibrant Montana by connecting rural and urban communities.
One Montana is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, nonpartisan organization based in Bozeman, Montana, dedicated to moving Montana forward and ensuring a positive future for both rural and urban communities—helping them work together toward success. We develop creative programs to support private land stewardship, maintain agriculture and working lands, and preserve our cultural heritage. We do this by connecting people, building relationships, and aggregating expertise and resources.
