About

IMPACT MONTANA

The Core of Impact Montana

VISION

Montana's service members, veterans, first responders and families THRIVING, during and after service. 

Mission

Help service members, veterans, first responders and their families define their purpose, connect with health and community solutions, and strive for what they value.

Values

Service | Respect | Harmony | Growth-Minded | Community | Collaboration

It's Time to Invest in Montana.

Impact Montana was created to subsidize existing SMVFRF support with new and integrative solutions to promote one's ability to thrive. Our “Thrive Factors” have been developed based on personal service and professional work experience. Working through the scope of these factors allows opportunities to build individually and as a unit (family or peer group). Impact Montana understands that a strong peer-to-peer support network and a more knowledgeable community can address the existing challenges that those who serve or have served face. We also believe that there is not one organization that can take on the lone responsibility of this support.
