Strategic partnerships MFBN is Montana’s only statewide food bank and a Feeding America member with an expansive network of over 360 partners, including community food banks, pantries, shelters, schools, and senior centers. This presents a strong opportunity to offer scalable collaboration programs, volunteer management solutions, and joint fundraising campaigns that leverage nationwide best practices.

Grant and funding growth With a revenue range of 10M to 25M and a history of large campaigns such as Feed Montana, MFBN likely has ongoing fundraising needs and grant cycles. This creates opportunities to propose donor management, CRM optimization, digital fundraising platforms, and analytics to optimize campaign ROI and donor segmentation.

Technology modernization MFBN uses a diversified tech stack (AWS, WordPress, Shopify, Mailchimp, Microsoft 365, Stripe, WP Engine). There is potential to upsell integrated donor CRM, event fundraising tools, automation for volunteer coordination, and secure payment processing enhancements to streamline operations.

Volunteer and logistics Recent partnerships with Republic Services to expand volunteer operations indicate a focus on mobilizing community support. This signals opportunities around volunteer management software, scheduling, logistics coordination, and impact analytics to maximize volunteer-driven food distribution.

Policy and advocacy alignment MFBN advocates for long-term policy solutions to strengthen nutrition programs. This opens doors for services around advocacy platforms, policy tracking analytics, grant-writing support, and communications automation to amplify public nutrition initiatives and stakeholder engagement.
