$70,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
Northern Plains Resource Council (NPRC) organizes a multi-generational mix of farmers, ranchers, environmentalists and rural people in some of the toughest parts of Montana to advocate for clean air, clean water, and progressive natural resource policies. We use face-to-face organizing to develop trust, win strategic campaigns, develop new leaders, and build power. Northern Plains is talking to hundreds of Montanans about the Biden Administrations investments in home energy rebates, LIHEAP, and REAP, to provide immediate financial relief to hundreds of economically stressed Montanans. NPRC’s educational campaign triages interested parties to WorkMoney’s resource center to streamline each individual’s enrollment process.
