Chair: Dax Schieffer

The Friends of Montana PBS welcomes you to join in our efforts to support programming that is trusted, valued and essential.

Montana PBS means so much to so many including early childhood learning, honest reporting of today’s current issues and quality arts and entertainment accessible for all across Montana.

The Friends of Montana PBS board members are as diverse as the state but are held together by the shared vision that the work we do connects Montanans. In that spirit, we invite you to connect with us as a sustaining member or find the many other ways to give through endowments, planned giving or business partnerships.

Sincerely,

Dax Schieffer

Mission Statement

Our mission is to support MontanaPBS through advocacy, community engagement and fundraising.

Advocacy

Community Engagement

Community engagement refers to the process by which community benefit organizations and individuals build ongoing, permanent relationships for the purpose of applying a collective vision for the benefit of a community.

Fundraising

Fundraising or fund raising (also known as "development") is the process of soliciting and gathering voluntary contributions of money or other resources, by requesting donations from individuals, businesses, charitable foundations, or governmental agencies.
