Each year, the Women’s Fair features local non-profit organizations that provide much-needed services to women, children and families in our community. Through the event, we feature each non-profit with an exhibitor space and the opportunity to speak on stage about their organization. In addition to raising awareness, we also raise funds for these organizations through the prize packages that are raffled off at the Women’s Fair. 100% of the money raised is donated equally to each organization. We look for non-profits that help women and families succeed in their everyday lives.
In the past, we have featured organizations like the YWCA of Missoula, the Jadyn Fred Foundation, Partnership for Children, Mountain Home, the Girls Way, Tamarack Grief Resource Center, the Playground Project, Missoula Aging Services, Zootown Arts Community Center, CASA of Missoula, the Flagship Program, Living Arts of Montana, Silver Lining Foundation, Hellgate Rollergirls, Austen Martell Memorial Mud Bog and Tough Trucks, MCT, inc., Girls on Shred, Buckets of Love, Opportunity Resources, inc., Montana Women Vote, the LifeGuard Group, the Dubbers Care Foundation, Camp Mak-A-Dream, and Care Net of Missoula.
In order to support their efforts, the Women’s Fair helps to increase awareness of these non-profits so you will learn more and get involved. The work that these special organizations do would not be possible without the generous support of supporters and donors right here in our local community.

The Postpartum Resource Group is on a mission to provide support, education and resources to mothers and their families who are experiencing postpartum mood disorders. The group also works to educate and inform the community and providers about postpartum mood disorders.
The group offers free postpartum peer support groups, a network of postpartum doulas, and a “Mother In Need Fund” offers a small monthly scholarship to help reduce some financial burden for things like counseling, self-care, groceries, supplies for your baby, and other needs.
Postpartum Resource Group is comprised of volunteers that come from a wide variety of backgrounds: nurses, midwives, accountants, stay at home mothers, teachers, business owners. All of these individuals are united with a heart for serving women and families impacted by Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. Visit with them at the Kalispell Women’s Fair to find out more.
