Become A BEAR Client

BEAR is a simple, three step community outreach program facilitated by local service providers designed to bring resources to existing businesses. The BEAR project is available is Missoula, Ravalli and Mineral Counties. Please contact the county in which your business is located. BEAR members from the three counties share resources and ideas; however, each county has its own unique Resource Advisory Team manned by local service providers and specific to its area.
