Tis the Season of Giving

Support robust community food systems this season! On Giving Tuesday, AERO kicked off our End of Year Campaign, with a goal of raising $15,000 by December 31st. We invite you to join us in our mission to build a more sustainable Montana for all. Here’s how your contribution directly supports our programming today and in 2023: 

• Abundant Montana serves as Montana’s megaphone for local food, farms, and businesses, building the demand for Montana-made foods. Abundant Montana provides marketing services and assistance to food and farming enterprises so they can build successful, well-connected, and thoughtful businesses.

• AERO’s Value-Added Producer Success program provides education, trainings, resources and toolkits to maximize business success selling home kitchen-produced, value-added goods direct to consumers.
• With a producer centric focus, the Montana Food Economy Initiative (MFEI) facilitates whole-community efforts in building resilient, climate-smart food systems that support that community’s economic, environmental, social, and human health. 
• Convening people is one of our super powers. Our annual Expo brings together Montanans committed to the culture of stewardship to explore developing issues and solutions in stewarding our planetary resources, our communities, and our food systems. We design our sessions to promote the friendly  sharing of ideas and knowledge, making lasting connections, and finding sensible, people-oriented solutions to food and energy issues.
• Returning in 2023: Racial Equity in the Food System Challenge and Next Steps.
