The Outlaw Fund: Giving Back to Southwest Montana

At Outlaw Realty, we’ve always believed that real estate should do more than just buy and sell homes; it should strengthen the community we’re lucky enough to call home. That’s why we created The Outlaw Fund, where 1% of commission goes directly to local and regional charities. From youth programs and conservation efforts to nonprofits providing everyday support for our neighbors, the fund makes sure that every closing also gives back.

But the fund is just one part of a much bigger impact. Together with our sister company, Outlaw Partners, we’re constantly looking for ways to invest in Southwest Montana’s future. We are bringing awareness through events, media, and partnerships that keep our region thriving.

Outlaw’s Summer of Impact

This past summer proved just how powerful that commitment can be. Outlaw Partners helped make Big Sky the destination of the season, delivering experiences that brought people together and drove record-breaking results for the community.

  • $43.3 Million Economic Impact: Outlaw’s 2025 summer events generated more than $43 million for Big Sky and Gallatin County, a 16% jump from 2024’s $37.4 million. From hotels and restaurants to shops and outfitters, businesses across the valley felt the boost.

  • $2.1 Million Raised for Charities: Through events like Big Sky PBR, the Wildlands Festival, and high-profile fundraisers, more than $2 million was raised for local and regional nonprofits doing incredible work.

  • 18 Days of Unforgettable Experiences: Rodeo, professional bull riding, world-class music, and community celebrations brought people from all over Montana, the U.S., and beyond. In 2024, Outlaw events welcomed 50,000 attendees, and in 2025, it only built on that momentum.

Why It Matters

What really stands out isn’t just the numbers, it’s what they mean. Outlaw events fuel the local economy, bring people together, and funnel resources into causes that make Southwest Montana stronger. The Outlaw Fund adds another layer to that story, giving every Outlaw Realty client the chance to know their home purchase or sale also made a real difference here at home.

At the end of the day, that’s what we’re about: building community, investing locally, and making sure that success is shared.
