As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The Meagher County Stewardship Council coordinated community planning and partnership-based projects focused on housing needs, natural resources, and local capacity-building. During the year, we convened stakeholders, provided technical assistance to local entities, and supported project development and funding efforts aligned with county priorities. We launched a donor-sponsored Nonprofit Happy Hour series to strengthen coordination among local nonprofits, community organizations, and public partners through relationship-building and information sharing, with an emphasis on collaboration and capacity-building.

Balance sheet
