On Nov. 1, 2013, the Explore Big Sky newspaper printed a nonprofit-focused issue called the “Guide to Giving.” Featuring 20 not-for-profit organizations from around the region, the special edition was a smashing success.
“The idea is that businesses, in addition to their ad, are getting a chance to show how they are involved in the community,” said Maria Wyllie, Account Coordinator for the Outlaw Partners. “Not only are they getting coverage for their business, they’re also supporting a cause that they care about and giving those nonprofits an opportunity to share what it is they do and tell how people can get involved.”
Now, we’re at it again. April 18 will see the second nonprofit edition of EBS, again highlighting some of the charitable organizations in our area that put others first, attracting volunteers for such worthy endeavors as search and rescue, youth empowerment, wildlife conservation and abused or neglected children, to name a few.
“For me, the great experience was finding out there was [this] supporter out there,” said Mary Peterson, Executive Director for Eagle Mount, a Bozeman based nonprofit that was sponsored by the Inn on the Gallatin last November. “We’re thrilled with the Inn. What a great way for a new business to be involved [in the community].”
Here are the details:
