Organization culture:  we are a mission-driven organization deeply committed to preserving Montana’s past through grant making and community-based projects and stories.  We love our board and our board members love hanging out with us twice per year. Our staff enjoys working together and making our work fun.  We take field trips and we all know each other’s favorite coffee drink.  We celebrate birthdays, make soup for each other, and enjoy being history nerds. There is almost always an office dog under someone’s desk, and the rotating music station burbles along through our work week.  

If you love Montana and have a passion for helping communities save and preserve their history and you possess excellent communication and organizational skills, we would love to talk to you about this exciting opportunity.
