Organizational Resiliency

Strong, resilient nonprofits are key to improving health in Western Montana.

We regularly ask grantees about their challenges, needs and priorities and strive to adapt accordingly. One message is loud and clear: investing in leadership and capacity leads to better outcomes.

We are committed to strengthening organizations and the nonprofit sector through flexible, long-term funding and non-monetary support, including:

Technical assistance, training and support

In areas like fundraising and grant-writing, communications, policy and advocacy, budgeting and accounting, and more.

1:1 coaching

For nonprofit professionals to access trusted coaching support, helping them overcome barriers and grow as leaders.

Convening, collaboration and networking

Opportunities for organizations to connect with peers to share learnings, brainstorm solutions and coordinate efforts.

Research and analysis

To provide our grantee partners and other community leaders with insights into our shared issue areas and strengthen proposed solutions.

Grantee storytelling

We help partners share the powerful stories behind their work through blogs, video production and more.

Community event space

Our versatile, user-friendly venue in downtown Missoula is available to our partners for their meetings and events.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and the best solutions are those led and embraced by our grantee partners. If you’re a Headwaters grantee in need of capacity-building support or ideas on how we can further strengthen Western Montana nonprofits, please contact us.
