Gideon’s 300 Campaign
We believe there are at least 300 individuals who care deeply about Adventist education and Mount Ellis Academy that would be willing to participate in this ongoing ambassador program. By donating a minimum of $1,000 each, with an opportunity for renewal each year, we can reach our initial goal of $300,000 by June 30, 2020 and have an army of faithful people to help support and grow Mount Ellis Academy.
Would you be willing to join us? Can we count on you to join Mount Ellis Academy’s Gideon army? With Mount Ellis Academy’s administration, faculty, and governing board, we are ready to march forward in faith.

Special Projects
Fuel the Adventure: Bus Fund
Imagine exploring beside alpine lakes, traversing tree-lined trails, floating through Bridger Bowl’s “Cold Smoke”, sharing the gospel through music tours, developing skills on the court and field through varsity games and tournaments: an entire world of learning made possible because of a safe and reliable ride. This could be the reality for Mount Ellis Academy with your help! We’re fundraising for a new bus to expand our horizons and offer improved transportation. Our students are going places and we need a bus to get there! Donate today and be part of the journey! The adventure starts here.
Faculty Housing Project
Having been established in 1902, Mount Ellis Academy has a rich history. While we are no longer using any of the original structures, most of our buildings are starting to show their age, including our faculty homes. Additionally, we have found that we do not have adequate housing for our staff and we recognize the need for additional on-campus housing. We have begun a new initiative to begin building new houses on campus to address our “housing crisis”. It is our goal to be able to replace or renovate our existing campus housing and provide funding for on-going maintenance costs for each home.
The Montana Conference, along with area churches and the Adventist Education Foundation have already made a statement of support for this new initiative by funding the initial 50% of the first home. Would you be willing to join in helping us to raise $75,000 to get the first home built? You can be a part of the vision. You can be a part of the future of MEA.
