Foundation History

Making an Impact, Together

For the past 25 years, Bozeman Health Foundation has had the privilege of working alongside with our community to enhance the health and well-being of those around us. The impact we’ve made together—and will continue to make for generations—demonstrates the strength of our partnerships and our unwavering commitment to improving the quality of life for everyone in southwest Montana.

The Foundation’s legacy began in 1998, when a small group of civic-minded individuals with a common goal for our community launched the “Destination Home” campaign. This grassroots effort aimed to bring essential services – radiation treatment and kidney dialysis – closer to home, so loved ones and neighbors could receive the care they needed without traveling far from Bozeman.

Since its inception, Bozeman Health Foundation has worked tirelessly to build philanthropic partnerships with those who call southwest Montana home and those who visit. These generous contributions have supported the growth of nearly every department at Bozeman Health, ensuring that access to high-quality health care remains available to our region. Over the years, your support has helped drive significant advancements in key areas, including cancer care, cardiovascular services, emergency medicine, intensive care, psychiatric care, and pediatric specialties.

With the community’s steadfast support, we’ve raised in total an extraordinary $100 million. This has been made possible through the dedication of donors and partners who continue to pledge their commitment to the Foundation’s mission, ensuring that its impact endures for generations to come. As we look to the next 25 years and beyond, we do so with deep gratitude. We are confident that, together with your support, we will continue to shape the future of health and wellness in our community. You are a vital part of this legacy—investing in our mission and in the future of southwest Montana, today and for generations to come.
