Throughout our state’s history, numerous Peace Officers have sacrificed their lives and countless others have been injured in the line of duty.
These guardians sacrificed their lives for our great state and in doing so left behind spouses and children who now have to cope with this tragedy and the financial burden sudden loss brings. That’s where The Montana Guardian Fund steps in.

When a Peace Officer is killed, it’s not just an agency that loses an officer, it’s an entire State.
The Montana Spirit is about taking care of our own.
The Montana Guardian Fund is a nonprofit charity dedicated to providing
financial assistance to families of Montana Peace Officers who lost their lives,
or are victims of serious, traumatic and disabling injury,
in the line of duty and cannot return to work.
Our board is composed of active and retired officers and private citizens
working collectively to bring Montanans together to help those
who put themselves between us and harm’s way every day.
So that they’ll never walk alone.
We are dedicated to keeping Montana the leader in compassion for First Responders.
With your support, The Montana Guardian Fund will stand in the gap for our guardians when they and their families need us the most.
It’s a big state and someone has to protect us. As this fund grows through your contributions, we hope to add all First Responders throughout Montana.
Time can run out. Financial security shouldn’t.
It’s not about the amount you invest; it’s about what you invest in.
Sudden loss brings an onslaught of worry: paying the bills, mortgage and car payments, where will the next meal come from, how are we going to get through this all?
The Montana Guardian Fund aims to remove this burden of debt and expenses from the surviving family. We know the money doesn’t replace the family’s loved one, but it alleviates the immediate financial burdens to allow the family to focus on coping with their loss.
