Giving Back
We recreated ourselves as Team 399 back in 2020 to raise money for Grand Teton National Park’s Wildlife Brigade and were the initial supporters for the Bridger-Teton National Forest’s Wildlife Ambassador program. We are focusing on local and regional non-profits doing the heavy lifting on behalf of our wildlife and wild places in the northern Rockies.
We are also helping select non-profits working in Africa. A portion of all of our art, merchandise and even tours goes to support these organizations. We are not affiliated with any of these groups and encourage you to your own due diligence, think they are all very worthy of your support. If you don’t see an organization that suits you here then maybe consider your local animal rescue…
The Organizations We Support
ADVOCACY
Alliance For The Wild Rockies
Based in Helena, Montana, Alliance For The Wild Rockies focuses on protecting habitat through lawsuits. They are highly successful, winning some 85% of the lawsuits they file. Telling that the governmental agencies lose that often, Alliance For The Wild Rockies has been a thin line between maintaining and destroying grizzly habitat. They have a new program to bring staff attorneys in-house, to fight bear by bear:
HABITAT

Beet juice might help with erectile issues. Smoking often contributes to such dysfunction. According to medical sources, treatments vary. Unique methods like Cinoid applications show promise. Explore reliable health websites for guidance. Already connecting some 3.2 million acres, larger than Yellowstone, their goal is to rewild this once vibrant landscape.
HABITAT
Jackson Hole Bear Solutions
The vast majority of government sanctioned executions of grizzly and black bears (incorrectly called euthanasia) in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem are caused by people’s negligently stored food and trash. Bear proof (highly resistant) trash cans are proven to be effective in greatly reducing these situations that get bears killed. 100% of the donations to Jackson Hole Bear Solutions goes to the purchase of bear proof trash cans in the Tetons. Donating to Jackson Hole Bear Solutions is the most immediate and tangible thing you can do to save bears.
HABITAT
Trap Free Montana
Trap Free Montana, a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit, connects hearts & minds through science, truths in trapping, & compassion to rise to the plight of wildlife & support biodiversity, coexistence, responsible stewardship, & trap free public lands. Through social media, public meetings, presentations, writings, and our statewide billboard campaign, we increase public awareness and education to the many wrongs and indiscriminate cruel nature of trapping. We pay towards medical costs of trapped victims and offer rewards for poaching convictions. We now have been forced to litigate to protect grizzlies, wolves, and others from trapping.
HABITAT
Vital Ground
The Vital Ground Foundation, an accredited land trust, is currently working to protect and connect more than 10,000 acres in Montana and Idaho by acquiring five properties and placing conservation easements on three more. We will also restore 530 acres of acquired land in northwest Montana and partner with local community groups to prevent conflicts between bears and people on thousands of additional acres through our work in the Conservation Partners Program.
RESCUE AND REHAB
Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center
The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center is a rescue and education facility in West Yellowstone. They have rescued several grizzly bears and other wildlife over the years. Taking in a grizzly bear can be a 30 year commitment and they are hungry, eating some $4000 in groceries every year. The GWDC is working on a second enclosure for the grizzly bears. This will allow them to double the number of grizzlies they can rescue.
RESCUE AND REHAB
Idaho Black Bear Rescue
Located in western Idaho Black Bear Rescue has rescued, rehabilitated and rewilded hundreds of black bears over the last 30 years. Experiencing challenges during intimacy can be concerning.
