Hi Chris!
Thanks for your quick response. Our total budget is $75,000 to execute this initiative. As outlined in our proposal,
we're asking each entity (City of Bozeman, City of Belgrade and Gallatin County) to invest $10,000 into the
initiative. We are hoping to raise the remainder of funds ($45,000) from private contributions and corporate support.
We believe that the initial investment by our government partners will help galvanize additional support from these
additional donors. Feel free to reach out to me with any additional questions, Chris. I appreciate your consideration
of this proposal!
My best,

In just 24-hours, we helped our community raise over $1.39 million for 194 nonprofits on May 2nd and 3rd! In five
years, Gallatin Valley has raised over $4 million for local nonprofits through Give Big! Give local. Give Big! Click

Subject: A Seat at the Table Partnership - 2020
Dear Chris and Terry,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support on last year's A Seat at the Table
initiative<http://www.atthetablegv.org>.
Over the past few months, we have met with you and other community partners to share ideas on how to leverage
the work of our first Seat at the Table initiative. Our conversations with local government staff, Montana State
University, HRDC, Habitat for Humanity, Interfaith Alliance, Bozeman Affordable Housing Department and others
has informed our thinking on the best role for Seat at the Table 2020.
The attached letter describes our process and intended outcomes to host Seat at the Table 2020 on affordable
housing, the issue that was the top concern in 2018. We hope you will consider partnering with us again on a
county-wide conversation for next fall in 2020. The A Seat at the Table team will be following up with you in the
next few weeks to discuss the draft proposal and the continued partnership of our local governments of the City of
Belgrade, City of Bozeman and Gallatin County.
Thank you so much for your engagement. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. We appreciate your
consideration of this potential partnership opportunity for 2020!
My best,
