The High Stakes Foundation

High Stakes Times Indeed. None of us could have imagined this world even a few weeks ago, nor can we know what the next few weeks will look like. We remain committed to our mission of assisting visionary leaders to carry out their work in Montana. Over the coming months, this will take place in measures large and small taken by each of us. For non-profit assistance, community needs, and COVID-19 updates, please refer to the following resources:

As leaders of our own families, neighborhoods, and organizations, let’s work together to not only get through this but to envision and create the world we want to live in.  Crisis presents challenges and opportunities but it is a terrible thing to waste. Here’s to continuing to work together to build a better world, and a better tomorrow.
