The holiday season is upon us

And so is your chance to give back to the region we love!

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities, and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this year's #GivingTuesday is taking place tomorrow, November 27th and will kick off the giving season.

Future West is asking you to participate. Giving Tuesday began as a way to transform how people think about and participate in the holiday season. It inspires people to take collective action to improve their communities and to give back in better, smarter ways to the causes they believe in. Tomorrow, or any day this season, be sure to participate by clicking the link below and see how every act of generosity counts. Through your donation on this global day of giving, you are investing in the future of this wonderful region. 

In an era of unprecedented growth and change, communities throughout the Northern Rockies are struggling to come together to identify and create the future that they want.  That is precisely the mission of Future West.  As Bridget Wilkinson, Executive Director of the Bozeman Area Community Foundation notes, "More than just concerned about the future of this special region, Future West skillfully helps people chart their own course for community well-being and the health of our natural environment." 

Thanks to you, we are able to provide key land use decision makers with the information, training and technical assistance they need to make wise decisions on a host of issues affecting the well-being of communities, rural landscapes, wildlands and wildlife.

With your support, we can continue to play a unique role in the conservation movement - a particularly important role during these contentious times.  Future West helps folks realize that in the end, we are all in this together.

From the Future West family to you and yours, thank you for your generous support, and for all that you do for our communities, working landscapes, wildlife and wild places.

Sincerely,
Dennis Glick
Executive Director
