Partner With Us to Build Montana’s Future
The CoBuild Montana Summit is a rare chance to put your organization at the center of a movement for community ownership, local resilience, and a stronger Montana economy.
CoBuild Montana Summit, October 20-22, 2026, University of Montana, Missoula
Why Sponsor the SummitThis isn’t a typical conference sponsorship. When you support the CoBuild Montana Summit, you help launch a forming multistakeholder cooperative built to keep wealth, jobs, and decision-making rooted right here in our communities.
Your support signals something real: a commitment to a Montana where local ideas become thriving, community informed and built ventures.

Founders and entrepreneurs building community-rooted ventures
Cooperative leaders and members from across the state
Impact investors and philanthropists deploying capital for regional resilience
Civic, tribal, and rural health leaders advancing place-rooted development
Community members invested in a self-reliant, sustainable Montana
It’s a value-aligned audience of decision-makers, doers, and connectors - the people your organization wants to stand alongside.
Students and emerging leaders from the University of Montana and beyond
