Mission Partners
Our mission wouldn’t be possible without the support of our mission partners. These companies and organizations stand beside the Montana Vet Program because they believe, like we do, that veterans deserve more than just a thank you — they deserve tools, training, and experiences that build strength long after the uniform comes off. We choose our partners with the same standards we use in the backcountry: quality, reliability, and integrity. From world-class gear makers to companies fueling us with food and training, each partner is a force multiplier that keeps our veterans equipped to thrive in the wild and in life. Their commitment ensures that every mile hiked, every river mile rowed, and every project completed in Montana’s wilderness is possible.
