Bridget Wilkinson, executive director of the One Valley Community Foundation, and Liz Moore, executive director of the Montana Nonprofit Association, will discuss the impact and value of nonprofits in the Gallatin Valley. They will also address the role nonprofits play in the prosperity and vitality of Montana as a whole. According to the National Council of Nonprofits, nonprofit organizations foster civic engagement and leadership, drive economic growth and strengthen the fabric of communities. Attendees will learn how residents across Gallatin County, Montana and the United States benefit every day from the work of nonprofits in various ways.
