As the snow starts to fall and the spirit of giving fills the air, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the heart behind some of our favorite Montana businesses — those who make giving back part of their everyday operations. From protecting wild spaces to supporting women in crisis, these local companies remind us that doing good and doing business can go hand in hand.

Here are a few Montana brands (including ours!) spreading warmth and making an impact this season.

Montana Coffee Traders

Supporting: Glacier National Park Conservancy, Vital Grounds, and Grounds for Health
A proud member of 1% for the Planet, Montana Coffee Traders donates 1% of annual sales to environmental partners working to protect the planet we all share. Their support extends from preserving wildlife habitats through Glacier National Park Conservancy and Vital Grounds, to empowering women in coffee-growing regions with essential health care through Grounds for Health.

Their commitment to sustainability and social responsibility makes every cup of coffee taste even better — knowing it fuels change both locally and globally.

Tommy’s Cookie Co.

Supporting: Fentanyl awareness and addiction prevention
Born out of deep loss and endless love, Tommy’s Cookie Co. was created to honor the life of Stephanie’s son, Tommy — a bright, adventurous soul who lost his life to fentanyl poisoning. Each batch of cookies shares Tommy’s story, raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl and supporting open conversations around addiction, recovery, and hope.

Their message is simple but powerful: one story, one cookie, one conversation can save a life.

KettleHouse Brewing Company

Supporting: Montana Forest Fund
If you’ve ever raised a glass at KettleHouse Brewing, you’ve already helped protect Montana’s wild places. As a founding partner of the Montana Forest Fund, KettleHouse donates one dollar from every beer poured from a dedicated tap handle at their taprooms to support restoration and recreation projects in Montana’s National Forests.

Their beer does more than bring people together — it helps preserve the lands that make Montana, Montana.

Whitefish Mountain Resort

Supporting: Montana Forest Fund
Our friends up on the mountain share that same passion for protecting Montana’s natural beauty. Through their contributions to the Montana Forest Fund, Whitefish Mountain Resort helps restore and maintain the very landscapes that make skiing, hiking, and outdoor adventure possible. It’s a full-circle effort: the mountain gives to the forests, and the forests give back to us all.

5 Sparrows Brand

Supporting: Refuge Ministries and Women’s Shelters Nationwide
At 5 Sparrows, giving back is woven into everything we do. Each month, a portion of our sales supports domestic abuse support groups and women’s shelters across the country — including organizations like Refuge Ministries. These groups provide safety, healing, and hope for women in crisis, and we’re honored to help make that work possible.

Because we believe health, safety, and sweetness should be accessible to everyone.
