How can I help?

Flathead Lake Biological Station is a world-class ecological research facility and our field courses continue to equal the best in the world. Much of the work we do has international impact and is leading the world in discovery.

Our current activities include:

  • Conducting world-class ecological research
  • Monitoring water quality in Flathead Lake
  • Publishing articles in top scientific journals
  • Providing expert testimony locally and nationally about water quality and ecological issues
  • Educating the next generation of scientific researchers and informed citizens

Our monitoring programs are dependent on University and State funding and the politics inherent in those processes. Private funding allows us to continue to provide consistent, unparalleled service levels regardless of the local political winds.

We are constantly seeking to enhance the research and educational capabilities at the Station to further focus the application of lessons we learn from our research toward solving global environmental problems. In doing so, we contribute decisively to the well being of the Earth and all her inhabitants.

So, how can you help?

  • Stay informed! Add your name to the Flathead Lake Journal mailing list. For a small annual donation, you can become a Friend of the Biological Station, and we will mail you the latest issues of the Journal to keep you abreast of Station news, research, and events. Small donations can help in a big way- we encourage donations of $10, $20, or $100.
  • Contribute to a Cause! Whether you would like to make a cash donation or a larger contribution in the form of a planned endowment, trust, or planned gift, you may direct your donation to an area you feel strongly about, in addition to gaining a significant tax benefit. If giving a large donation is a consideration for you, please contact us to discuss how to proceed. . We also accept donations of property, securities, and real-estate. We are a not-for-profit organization, and within IRS regulations, donations are tax-deductible.
  • Tell others about us! Many people around the U.S. have never heard of FLBS. We're at the forefront of ecological research and we're implementing our knowledge in an international scope. If people haven't heard about us yet, they will soon. But it never hurts to direct word of mouth traffic to our website!

    Any donation will earn you a subscription to the Flathead Lake Journal as a Friend of FLBS, as well as help to ensure that Flathead Lake remains a source of pride for all Montanans. We hope to see you soon at the Lake!
