Big skies, big mountains, and big givers. Those three things define just part of what Montana is all about.

During this years annual "Give Big" online fundraiser, a goal of 3 million dollars was set and, like Montanan's always do, they came through big time and flew past that goal.

Give Big is the largest one day fundraiser in the state, and the numbers don't lie.

This year the goal of making 3 million dollars was set, and was set with confidence. Last year they were just short of 3 million dollars, bringing in 2.92 million dollars for non-profits of all different sorts.

This year Give Big raised 3,062,827 million dollars! That is because 5,867 donors heard the call for action and came through, big time. The money raised went to help over 265 different organizations. Organizations that rely on donations to continue to serve the Gallatin Valley.
