Highlights

Conservation leaders from across Montana and beyond gathered in the Sun River Watershed September 18-20 to learn about drought and climate resilience and share stories of what motivates each of us to care for our lands, waters, and communities. The 2024 Fall Watershed Tour featured projects and programs completed by the Sun River Watershed Group and their partners. To learn more about the Tour, check out the Tour Summary, which includes links to Tour partners, sponsors, and more.
We are waving goodbye to (#Watershed)Summer! While only in its second year, our #WatershedSummer program is catalyzing great engagement among Watershed Conservation Groups and the public. This year we had a new high of 31 organizations to highlight, and the social media posts about all their great work organically reached over 30,000 accounts! If you missed out, it’s not too late visit our instagram page to see all the hype. And sincere thanks to this year’s sponsor, Blackfoot Challenge, for supporting this work and the good work of Watershed Groups across the state.
How? By becoming an MWCC Supporting Member you get access to all kinds of discounts and support from MWCC and other organizations. The most popular and available to all Supporting Members is the ExpertVoice access. ExpertVoice allows you the opportunity to purchase gear at a discounted rate. This benefit can be used by your organization, staff, and board members! A close second is sharing your job opening on our job board. The link to the job board is regularly the most clicked link in every edition of the Watershed Newsletter which goes out to thousands of emails. A great cost-saving benefit for Supporting Members with a nonprofit status is $20 off a Montana Nonprofit Association (MNA) membership. That in and of itself can be a huge help to our nonprofit partners. But when paired with MNA’s own benefits and discounts, the savings increase drastically. Benefits like a free GrantStation Insider weekly funding e-newsletter and 85% off GrantStation subscriptions. GrantStation is a powerful tool for finding new funding sources and for becoming more strategic and successful in your grant funding goals. In all, your MWCC and MNA memberships provide hundreds of dollars in discounts - and potentially much more in funding resources. More information on becoming a Supporting Member, including sign-up forms, can be found at the link below. Reach out to Kierra and Amy at info@mtwatersheds.org with any questions.
