The Bozeman Area Community Foundation is evolving into a larger role of assisting non profits in the area by facilitating connections and cooperation among non profit organizations, as well as its traditional role of managing endowment funds established by either non profits themselves or by individual donors.
It was originally founded in 1998 as the Planned Giving Foundation of Montana with an emphasis on technical estate planning for individuals who wished to leave money for local charitable purposes. As the mission expanded into typical community foundation services, the board changed the name to better indicate the structure.
In 2013 the "BACF" entered a new phase as it hired its first foundation manager. New board members and the new manager are giving a fresh look to the organization via a revamped web site and it is becoming more connected to the community.
I'm pleased with the changes and the progress being made.
