Love INC - Gallatin County

What Love INC - Gallatin County does

Love INC — Gallatin County (legally Gallatin County Love In the Name of Christ) is a 501(c)(3) Christian nonprofit ministry established in 1995 in Bozeman, Montana. It operates as a local affiliate of the National Love INC movement, which coordinates more than 100 locations across 29 U.S. states and Kenya. The organization mobilizes a network of 53 partner churches spanning multiple denominations to deliver holistic care — spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical — to Gallatin County residents experiencing financial hardship or crisis. Services are provided free of charge and depend entirely on volunteers, donations, and in-kind contributions.

Operationally, the organization runs a central Connection Center intake that fields over 500 calls per month, routing clients to nine Gap Ministries (Car Clinic, Furniture, Firewood, Linen, Personal Care, Computer, Holding Cross, Quilting), a Clothes Closet retail location in Belgrade, and a Change Your Life curriculum (Faith & Finances, Love Your Kitchen, Trauma Reboot). The paid staff comprises 5 people — an Executive Director, coordinators for the Change Your Life program, ministry, Connection Center, and car ministry — supported by hundreds of volunteers and a 6-member Board of Directors.

The revenue model is multi-stream and donation-based: individual one-time and monthly giving, a tiered Business Partner Program (Brass $2,500 through Black Diamond $75,000+), a Legacy Giving planned-giving program, annual fundraising events such as the Golf Tournament, and significant in-kind donations of clothing, furniture, vehicles, and household goods. All services are free to clients, and no proprietary technology platform is disclosed; core infrastructure consists of standard nonprofit tools including the Setmore appointment system and a content-managed website at loveincgc.org.
