Montanans don’t typically ask for much, but they give a whole lot back.

In a study released in April, the Corporation for National and Community Service reported that Montana ranks seventh among the 50 states in its citizen volunteer rate. While 27 percent of Americans regularly volunteer, an impressive 38 percent of Montanans habitually donate their time to help causes across the state.
