Gallatin Ice Foundation, “Building ice for the future.”

Began meeting in May of 2006. GIF was formally founded on August 3, 2006 with the State of Montana and functions as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Bylaws have been approved and adopted.

The creation of the Gallatin Ice Foundation (GIF) marked the initiation of organized efforts by existing ice users in the local community to fund raise for the creation and operation of the planned ice facility. An elected Board of Directors for GIF has five members; two members representing BAHA, one member representing Figure Skating, one member representing the Fair Board and one at large member. The Board of Directors, along with citywide volunteer support, provide a vital role in every phase of financing this project from the initial construction to the day-to-day operation of the facility once complete.

The Board of Directors oversee the Director of Development who will be responsible for the fund raising efforts to support the facility.

The Board of Directors are responsible for providing guidance with financial affairs for the facility.
