Overview
Mission
We bring mindfulness programs into schools and communities, providing students with tools that foster focused attention, emotional regulation and resilience for a lifetime.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, the Montana mindfulness project provided mindfulness education to more than 1,050 individuals in schools, after-school programs, workplaces, and community settings across the gallatin valley and throughout the state. Over the course of the year, mmp partnered with 24 public schools and community organizationsincluding bozeman health, bozeman school district, united way and Montana state universityto deliver programming across these settings. Our offerings in 2025 included weekly mindfulness education for youth, family and parent mindfulness series, young adult retreats, professional development workshops for parents and caregivers, educators, healthcare staff, and nonprofit employees as well as a free online, weekly mindfulness practice open to the community. Mmp also expanded access through statewide digital curricula developed in partnership with the office of public instruction.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
