Browning Community Development
Corporation (BCDC) is a nonprofit organization created to foster social and economic improvements in the Blackfeet
Reservation community. BCDC will work collaboratively to assist in creating an opportunity for a self-sustaining,
economically independent community through the use of diverse resources and learning. BCDC will seek to promote
community development through financing, training, technical assistance and advocacy.

The concept of a community development corporation came about as an opportunity for the regular citizen to make a difference based on John F. Kennedy’s ideal of, “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”. Instead of waiting for the city, tribal, county, state or federal governments to create a climate of social and economic change, the community, through the Browning Community Development Corporation, can make a greater, longer lasting impact in our area.
What kind of community would you like to live in? What kind of community would you like to see your children or
grandchildren to grow up in? These are the questions the people need to ask themselves. The Federal Government,
the State of Montana or even the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council cannot provide all the answers. The community
members of the Blackfeet Reservation need to answer these questions.
The Browning Community Development Corporation can assist in focusing our community to make the positive changes that we
want. Community members are welcome to attend BCDC monthly meeting held every third Wednesday in Browning.
Vision Statement
We envision a viable self-sustaining community
flowing with opportunity, growth, pride and independent economic stability.
