What they do
THE MONTANA GRIZZLY SCHOLARSHIP ASSOCIATIONS (MGSA) PRIMARY OBJECTIVE is to RAISE SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS for THE UNIVERSITY of MONTANA (UM) STUDENT-ATHLETES. THE MGSA ALSO ASSISTS THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT WITH VARIOUS FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES, and ACTIVELY PROMOTES INTEREST IN and AWARENESS of ALL UM SPORTS PROGRAMS. THE MGSA, THROUGH ITS BOARD of DIRECTORS BELIEVES THAT A SUCCESSFUL ATHLETICS PROGRAM ENHANCES THE UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCE for STUDENT-ATHLETES and NON-STUDENT-ATHLETES ALIKE AS WELL AS BUILDING A STRONG ALLIANCE WITH THE COMMUNITY and ALUMNI. WE BELIEVE IT is THE RESPONSIBILTY of THE MGSA to HELP ACHIEVE THESE OBJECTIVES BY EDUCATING THE GENERAL PUBLIC and THE STUDENT-ATHLETES ABOUT THE FISCAL NEEDS of THE UNIVERSITY of MONTANAS ATHLETIC PROGRAM; BUILDING COMMUNITY SUPPORT; and PROVIDING THROUGH DEVELOPMENT and FUNDRAISING PROGRAMS, THE PRIVATE FINANCIAL RESOURCES NECESSARY to FUND SCHOLARSHIPS and OTHER NEEDS.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
