OUR STORY
Coming Together for Missoula
Formed in 2019, the Missoula Nonprofit Center (MNC) is the training, networking, and information sharing hub for Missoula area nonprofits. As the updated and modernized combination of the Missoula Nonprofit Network (MNN) and Volunteer Missoula, MNC hopes to facilitate growth and encourage the success of our community’s valued nonprofits and volunteers.
Formed in 2005, the Missoula Nonprofit Network was started in an effort to strengthen the nonprofit sector by holding joint trainings, sharing best practices and collaborating on grant resources. The management of MNN shifted over the years, ending at United Way of Missoula County before morphing into MNC.
Volunteer Missoula was born in 2012 as a result of collaboration between 13 distinct nonprofits, businesses, and groups with the goal of helping promote volunteerism as a viable solution to meeting gaps in services in our community. Volunteer Missoula provides a website that facilitates local nonprofits to connect with eager volunteers through easy-to-use online search and sign-up features.
As a combination of these two entities, the Missoula Nonprofit Center offers a suite of services, tools, and educational opportunities that allows those that promote the social betterment of our Missoula area to do so at their greatest capacity. MNC is under the fiscal sponsorship of United Way of Missoula County and run by a coordinator and an advisory board.
