It's the season of giving once again in Missoula and the surrounding areas.

Missoula Community Foundation's Missoula Gives event is back once again on May 1st- 2nd this year with another lofty goal.

 

Missoula Gives & Bitterroot Gives, an initiative of the Missoula Community Foundation, is a 26-hour celebration of the Missoula and Ravalli communities. It connects generous Missoulians and Bitterrooters with the causes they care about. - Missoulagives.org

 
Missoula Gives is looking to raise a whopping $1.45 million in 2025. Last year, Missoula and Bitterroot Gives raised a smashing $1,342,343 thanks to over 4 thousand donors.

The money raised was distributed to over 200 nonprofits.

Since the Western Montana fundraiser began in 2014, Missoula Gives has raised $7.4 million, benefiting several nonprofits.
