a SOCIETAL INCUBATOR in disaster and economic RESILIENCE

 The FARTHER Institute is a Missoula, MT based non-profit serving as a societal incubator supporting forest and rangeland community efforts in the region.  As a societal incubator our mission is to drive economic vitality in the region in fields related to forests and rangelands including natural disaster prevention and mitigation such as floods, drought and fire. We accomplish this mission by supporting the efforts and goals of individuals in the community who desire to use their expertise in these fields to support themselves and their neighbors. That support is driven by a network of shared expertise, tools and resources enabling individuals and groups to create small businesses and non-profits, secure government contracts and compete for and manage private, state and federal grants.
