HOV also has contracts to serve as an impound facility for animal control officers for Gallatin County, City of Bozeman and the Town of West Yellowstone. HOV has an open door policy and does not euthanize for space or length of time. Being an “open door” shelter means that HOV accepts any lost, abandoned or surrendered companion animals (cats or dogs) from anywhere.

From their humble beginnings as a research library in 1933, the Yellowstone Association has become a pre-eminent steward of the park. Today, the Yellowstone Association, in partnership with the National Park Service, connects people to Yellowstone National Park and our natural world through education. Their membership program and the sale of educational materials help fund education and research programs that enrich the visitor appreciation of Yellowstone.

Dirtbag Ball - Big Sky Ski Patrol:

​

Proceeds from the ball go toward the purchase of rescue equipment, gear for the patrol shacks, and to pay for the patrol's end-of-the-year celebration.

Terry Onslow and Hambone (Hamilton George Strayer III) used to work as patrollers in Stowe, Vermont. The Stowe patrol gave a yearly award for the patroller who did the dumbest thing at work – a bag of dirt. The award became known as the Dirtbag award. Since the term also described the locals who lived to ski and party every day, it became a great fit and ultimately the infamous balls name.​

Gallatin Valley Food Bank:

During the past twenty-nine years, The Food Bank has grown with the needs of our community and has become a food resource center for Gallatin Valley. The GVFB program started in a small house on Mendenhall that was donated by the City of Bozeman, then moved to Wallace Street, a 1,950 square foot location, and then moved once again to their current location on Bond Street off of North Rouse.The GVFB current space is used to house the warehouse, food distribution areas, and commercial kitchen. The Food Bank acts as the distribution site for area non-profits ordering foods from the USDA or Montana Food Bank Networkl. Large quantity food donations received are shared with area non-profits and low-income housing sites throughout the Gallatin Valley.

Our mission is to promote appreciation, knowledge and conservation of Montana's native birds, other wildlife, and natural ecosystems to safeguard biological diversity for current and future generations. Founded in 1976, we have built effective programs in public policy, education, and bird conservation to serve our members and Montana's nine community-based Audubon Chapters.
