Montana Television Network (MTN) stations across the state have now raised $91,715 as part of their Montana Wildfire Relief Fund. The MTN stations will match the first $50,000 of that total.
On Friday, September 15, the fundraising drive caught the attention of Arthur Blank and The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. Co-founder of The Home Depot, Blank owns the Atlanta Falcons and the Mountain Sky Guest Ranch. They announced an additional $50,000 match. It started Friday evening and applies to any donation received from that point forward. The donation comes from the Guest Ranch Fund, an affiliate fund to the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation.
