YOU CAN QUADRUPLE YOUR SAVINGS WITH A MATCHED SAVINGS ACCOUNT!

Participants save for a future home purchase, a small business
investment or for higher education costs.
For every $1,000 you save it can be matched with up to $4,000!

For most Americans, having assets like a home, a business, or higher education have often been the first step toward
economic security and a strong family.

Families with low to moderate incomes usually
have trouble taking that first step.

Through NWMT's Matched Savings Account Program, savers acquire budgeting skills, knowledge of healthy, steady savings and then exercise their new skills by setting goals, attending money-management workshops and participating in one-on-one counseling sessions with a case manager to help them achieve their goals.

Become A Match Savings Account Donor

Would you like to be instrumental in creating lasting impact for a Montana family's future?

One single mother tells the story how she learned ways to budget and save. She simply changed her route to work each day to avoid the temptation of buying a latte and told her children that they could only to out to eat once a month. She did meet that savings goal and is now a very happy successful homeowner.

Please consider becoming a Match Donor and give a hard-working Montana family your support as they learn to take that first step toward financial stability.

Growing from an exploration in establishment of a Statewide Community Land Trust for permanently affordable housing, the Trust Montana Steering Committee came to see the potential power of recognizing the shared mission of land stewardship, in general. For background information see the web page at http://housing.mt.gov/FAR/clt.mcpx

We believe that by working together we can raise the profile of permanent stewardship in the state and thereby attract more significant levels of funding than are currently available to the divergent, sometimes localized, land advocacy groups now at work. We believe Trust Montana could attract interest nationally and become a politically significant voice for land stewardship with our State Legislature.

We are reaching out to develop coalitions of mutual support among housing, conservation, farming, and historic preservation groups in order to better and more holistically protect and preserve Montana’s unique natural, cultural, agricultural and historic landscapes, communities and properties for the long lasting health and benefit of all Montanans.
