Across Montana, coverage takes in major gifts to hospitals and universities, fundraising galas, community benefit events and campaigns run by local nonprofits. Reporting reaches from the state's largest cities out to the small towns and rural counties where a single fundraiser can carry a whole community. Giving in a state this large often depends on distance, so drives that bring people together across far-flung communities get particular attention. Volunteer-run fundraisers and youth sports donations are as common here as the large gifts that make headlines.
