2025 Donor/Supporter Survey

2025 BMWF Donor/Supporter Survey

At the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation, we work on behalf of our supporters, donors and partners to provide access to and stewardship of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex. We believe it is important to hear from our community about what inspires you, concerns you, and how we can better come together to protect this wild place for generations to come.

This survey can either be completed quickly by only responding to the multiple-choice questions, or feel free to provide more in-depth answers in your own words. You may skip any questions. You may choose to remain anonymous by leaving the name and email fields blank. We will not share your responses without your permission.

Your response will be used to help guide our upcoming 5-year Strategic Plan. Please complete this survey by Wednesday, October 22nd to participate in this process.
