Making a Difference: Organizations We Support
At Helena Home Team, giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s the foundation of who we are. Since launching our brokerage in 2020, we’ve prioritized reinvesting in our community, directing nearly $150,000 toward nonprofits and initiatives that make Helena a stronger, more connected, and vibrant place to live. From supporting the arts and education to addressing critical needs like housing and hunger, our efforts are driven by a deep love for our town and its people.
This Giving Tuesday, we’re proud to reflect on the incredible organizations we’ve partnered with over the years. Each one plays a unique role in making Helena extraordinary, and we’re honored to contribute to their missions.
