Our Story
What We Do
We team up with outdoor communities–those whose spirit and vitality is centered around the outdoors–to build nimble, responsive teams who turn their community led ideas into action.
Our Approach
Our approach is built on decades of experience and demonstrated success. To meet the community where they are, our team provides:
- Strategic Community Support: Customized assistance across a range of areas including project planning, design concepts, fundraising, volunteer programs, land authorizations, public-private partnerships, expert guidance for operations and maintenance, risk management, policy, and community engagement programs
- Learning Experiences: Trainings, annual summits, project development, and grant-readiness education
You may have known us as Montana Access Project, but we’re embarking on an exciting new chapter. We are expanding our reach beyond Montana and deepening our partnerships to better meet the needs of rural community champions. As part of this evolution, we’re embracing a new name and logo that reflects our mission, vision, and values.
We are now Outdoor Community Partners. While our name and logo have changed, our commitment remains steadfast: ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors—every day.
