COVID Non‐Profit Grant Applications
Applicant Name: Eagle Mount Bozeman
Amount Requested: $ 20,000
Funding Awarded: $ 20,000
General Category: Recreation
Detailed Description Submitted: Request and Impact Area: Eagle Mount is requesting $20,000 in
operating support in the physical health area of impact. This funding will support Eagle Mount’s
general operations, helping make each of our programs and activities possible as 2021 unfolds.
Eagle Mount’s services have a direct and lasting impact on the physical health and wellbeing of our
participants. Research continues to show that people with disabilities who engage in regular physical
activity enjoy improved physical and mental health, increased social activity, overall quality of life and
satisfaction. Adults with disabilities who are physically active are more likely to be employed, to
advance in the workplace, and to have a strong social network. Parents and teachers tell us that Eagle
Mount programs help to make young people more confident, more focused and ready to learn. Those
attributes carry over at home, and in the classroom.
Operational and Funding Difficulties brought on by the pandemic:Brought on by the pandemic, Eagle
Mount has encountered significant activity and event cancellations, changes in work‐flow, and
modifications to program structure. Eagle Mount acted quickly in response to the early stay‐at‐home
orders, adapting our staffing model to absorb the financial uncertainty of the spring and summer,
while looking ahead with dedication to our future. Eagle Mount paused programming between
March 16 and June 15 with the health and safety of our participants and community in mind. During
this pause, the Family Support Program remained operational, coordinating outreach and planning for
the summer. As the first weeks of our closure unfolded our Family Support Program Director
facilitated calls to each Eagle Mount participant and family. These calls were intended as check‐ins to
clarify our choice to close our campus and pause programming, but true to form for Eagle Mount,
they became real connections and unique opportunities to better understand our families and their
needs during quarantine. In subsequent weeks, we hosted regular online meetings of a group of our
longtime adult participants to ensure their continued connections and social contact. These were
effective and fun, welcoming sometimes more than a dozen participants.
As the spring and summer unfolded, Eagle Mount cancelled Big Sky Kids camps, our series of summer
oncology camps that have brought children and families to adventure in southwestern Montana for
more than 25 years, and cancelled the regular series of summer activities known as Adventure Days.
Moving into a phased reopening of programming in June, Eagle Mount began offering small‐group,
outdoor events including family bonfire nights on campus, guided hikes and bike rides on local trails,
adventure education opportunities, horticulture activities, and other unique outdoor opportunities.
We welcomed family units, households, and small groups to connect with our recreational resources,
expertise and volunteers, while maintaining social distancing and other precautions to prevent the
spread of COVID‐19. Horticulture and family programming took place on our patio and in the program
garden for the summer months, and Eagle Mount utilized numerous local hiking trails for
programming while indoor activities were not safely possible. In July, adaptive horsemanship lessons
resumed, welcoming nearly 65 participants during three sessions of individual lessons between July
and November.

In August, Eagle Mount hosted a virtual tree planting honoring the long‐cherished tradition of
planting a tree on campus marking the Big Sky Kids camp season. Online, across the country, Big Sky
Kids participants, families, volunteers and former staff joined in to look back at more than 25 years of
Big Sky Kids Camps, sharing tears and laughter along the way. In September, the Tim and Mary
Barnard Aquatics Center reopened for a full schedule at Labor Day. Atop the pandemic’s ongoing
challenges, Eagle Mount encountered a number of unforeseen campus repairs during 2020. In late
March, nearly $50,000 in repairs to the boiler, pump, structure, and lights in the pool became urgent
due to the natural age of the system and its components. In Early April, Eagle Mount experienced a
fire and flood on campus that resulted in extensive damage and necessary repairs to the
administrative building, as well as cleaning of the entire ventilation system. While unfortunate and
expensive, these repairs came at an oddly fortuitous time, meaning that our campus’ indoors were
closed during the peak weeks of stay‐at‐home recommendations and are nearly complete as we near
the close of 2020.
While Eagle Mount’s community of supporters is longstanding in Bozeman and beyond, yet distinct
hurdles have dampened our fundraising efforts this year specific to the pandemic and it’s impact.
When the ski resorts and schools closed, our programming halted, resulting in the loss of more than
$30,000 in ski lesson revenue from the Big Sky Ski program alone.
The most notable fundraising hurdle encountered because of the pandemic has been the decrease in
our annual fundraising through events. Eagle Mount hosts three premier fundraisers in the
community each year that raise on average 30% of our operating funds, during 2020, all three looked
very different and did not generate their typical revenue. Western Rendezvous, usually held in early
June, is a traditional barn dance hosted in our equine facility. Western Rendezvous was rescheduled
to September this year, and ultimately cancelled due to group size restrictions. Digger Days typically
provides more than $125,000 in revenue, and welcomes roughly 5000 people each August to enjoy
operating real construction equipment with the help of hundreds of volunteers, it is a significant
fundraiser but has other community engagement benefits related to the size, scale and high quality of
the event. Digger Days was cancelled this year due to the obvious risks of the high‐touch event with
large crowds. With the help and support of the dedicated team of core partners, we were still able to
secure nearly half the regular sponsors for Digger Days and execute a small, participant‐only event,
but the other benefits of the event were not realized and fundraising was significantly impacted by
cancellation. Crystal Ball, Eagle Mount’s annual fall gala, was the most significant change in this year’s
fundraising. Typically, the event’s net revenue provides for 13% of Eagle Mount’s annual budget, this
was true in 2019. During 2020, Crystal Ball was cancelled in November, replaced by the Fall Virtual
Auction, that raised nearly $100,000 less than in years past, providing for only 6% of the budget
necessary. With continued restrictions, the impact of this lost revenue may be a lasting problem into
a second season of events.
The funding in this application would be particularly important in addressing the event losses we
incurred this year.Meeting Needs and Making Lasting Impact:Looking forward, Eagle Mount will
continue to be a staple in the Bozeman nonprofit sector. With nearly 40 years of service to those
with disabilities and cancer in our community, we are honored to be moving into another year of
empowering our participants and enriching their lives through recreation, and engaging our
community in meaningful volunteerism. Eagle Mount’s full slate of socially distanced classes and
lessons in the pool are operating now and foreseeably, we will welcome another session of adaptive
DocuSign Envelope ID: 06E36EBD-E5E3-425B-8115-5F77D4B75EAC
COVID Non‐Profit Grant Applications
horsemanship lessons beginning in January 2021, and plans are underway for a busy ski season in Big
Sky, at Bridger Bowl, and cross‐country skiing at Crosscut and on the Eagle Mount campus. Eagle
Mount continues to provide adaptive recreation while adapting to the evolving situation and keeping
our participants, volunteers and staff as safe as possible. As 2021 unfolds, we look forward to leaning
on our decades of experience and the needs of our participants as we plan and deliver each activity
and program.
As stated above, research continues to show that people with disabilities who engage in regular
physical activity enjoy improved physical and mental health, increased social activity, overall quality
of life and satisfaction. Eagle Mount is an important outlet and resource for many in our
community.Eagle Mount offers roughly 2000 opportunities for activity each year, welcoming
hundreds of discrete individual participants, supported roughly 1:1 by skilled, dedicated volunteers.
About 65% of our participants are from Bozeman and the immediate surrounding area, another 15%
from elsewhere in Montana.
Since 1982, Eagle Mount has always approached each activity with three goals in mind: safety, fun
and learning – in that order. We’ve never felt more committed to these goals as we navigate what’s
ahead. While safety precautions continue to be top priority, Eagle Mount stands ready to adapt as
needed to the changing situation of COVID‐19, as well as the anticipated reopening of more and more
opportunities as 2021 unfolds. With the limitations on safe programming during 2020, many
participants and families have been unable to participate. The singular goal of 2021 remains to stay
true to Eagle Mount’s mission, welcoming as many participants as safely possible to adventure with
us.
