The Colter Pass, Cooke City and Silver Gate community Council is a Montana nonprofit corporation and IRS section 501(c) 3 organization. Like most nonprofit corporations which are formed to benefit their communities we struggle to raise sufficient dollars to carry out the public service projects we would like to benefit the health, safety and welfare of our communities.

We operate a building which serves as a community center, a museum and a home base for the Chamber of Commerce visitor center. Our primary challenge is really the same as the primary challenge being experienced by the entire Cooke City, Silver Gate area of the county. We struggle to maintain adequate restroom facilities for the community.

In addition to our ongoing goals of maintaining the museum and public restroom facilities we have for years advocated and promoted other community projects serving the community and tourists. We have developed and maintain Silver Gate Park which is a Park County Park. We bring the Montana Shakespeare in the Park presentation to silver Gate each summer. We publish the weekly Cooke City Newsletter and support the Cooke City Montana Museum and the Forget Me Know Fest.
