Mission: The Beartooth Front Community Forum (BFCF) is a grassroots, nonpartisan organization that seeks to retain and enhance the quality of life in the Red Lodge, Montana, area. We accomplish this by focusing on public education and involvement, promoting thoughtful, constructive dialogue on issues affecting the region, seeking to identify areas of consensus, and completing projects that achieve widely held goals.
What are you fundraising for this year?
Funds will allow us to cover the cost of the forum venue and travel expenses for speakers with expertise in the topic or issue being addressed. We sponsor one or two community forums each year.
What impact will funds have on your mission and community?
Donated funds are used to support community-wide forums that accomplish our mission of public education and sponsor community dialogue on issues affecting Red Lodge and the Beartooth Front. The funds allow us to cover the travel expenses of forum speakers who can share their expertise about a forum topic or issue. Many past forums have resulted in community projects such as the Active Transportation Plan, Living with Wildlife program, and the formation of the Boys and Girls club, to name a few.
If you participated last year, what did you use the funds for?
We held a forum last spring on City and County Growth Policies, soliciting public comments for upcoming City and County Growth Policy reviews and provided information about public involvement.The 2025 spring forum will focus on “Bear Aware” community education programs to reduce bear and human conflicts.
Fundraising Goal: $1,500.00
