OVERVIEW

Leading a state association of nonprofits, particularly in a state like Montana, is a balancing act. Our guest Liz Moore, Executive Director of Montana Nonprofit Association, talks through these challenges and opportunities creating a vibrant and localized nonprofit community. The common assumptions of access, education, and infrastructure change when considering rural communities and how nonprofits fill critical service gaps. When a state like Montana moves through a crisis like Covid-19, Liz tells us how nonprofits have survived and where urgent needs remain. This is a case study in thinking about meeting community, funding, and professional development needs across a myriad of organizations that span a broad social and political gamut. Understanding the roles that healthy government, business vitality, and nonprofits can play together and shifting our mindset related to nonprofit infrastructure needs from “Why are nonprofits asking for more?” to “Why would we make a decision that hurts nonprofits?” is how these three entities can best work together. For listeners unaware of how nonprofit state associations partner with governments, keep nonprofits alive, preserve and help change cultures, and form national policy networks, this is a highly educational conversation.
