Thank you to everyone who so generously donated to Merlin during Greater Helena Gives 2023. Because of you we were able to surpass our goal of $3k….raising $3,550 for our philosophy in the community programs!
Hosted by Rebecca Ryland & Mark Runkle, our 2022 Food for Thought Fundraiser at Elkhorn View Lodge was a success! Our theme…the super-sexy topic of “Arts, Science & Imagination.” Check out opening performance videos, photos, funds raised & more here!

Woot-Woot! Greater Helena Gives is right around the corner! And this year we’re raising funds for two things: our free community programs AND an exciting new program we’re hoping to launch called COMMUNITY HUBS. Learn about both here! Greater Helena Gives takes place on May 5th-6th (6pm-6pm). As you show your love for Helena non-profits, please leave room for philosophy. Your donations help build a thinking community. Yahooo!!!
Thank you to everyone who so generously donated to Merlin & philosophy in the community during Greater Helena Gives 2021.
To announce that we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s fundraiser block party due to the challenges we are all facing with COVID-19. While we wish it weren’t the case, we believe it’s the right thing to do, all things considered. Additionally, we hope that this decision allows event sponsors to redirect their contributions to organizations offering direct services for our community members most in need and health care providers on the front lines.
Once the parameters of our current health crisis situation become more clear, our goal (if possible) is to host a smaller-scale event later this year in Reeder’s Alley honoring each and every one of you and the sacrifices that you are making to try and keep our city running and people safe, near and far. Stay tuned for more information about this and please save the date for the 2021 Reeder’s Alley Block Party on Saturday, June 12th 2021.
Our 4th Annual Tie-Dye Themed “Think on the Links” Charity Golf Scramble was FAR OUT! Thanks to the support of our sponsors, donors, and players…

We had a great time hosting the 5th Annual Reeder’s Alley Block Party this year and are thankful that so many people came out to enjoy the festivities despite the persnickety weather! A celebration of community & ideas (and, of course, one of Helena’s most beloved historic sites — Reeder’s Alley), our fun and festive block party fundraiser was dog-friendly, kid-friendly, fun for all ages. Check out photos, videos, and more here!

Our 2023 philosophy symposia series looked at what it means to be at the interface of loss and legacy. In Spring, we examined the question “How do we think about grief?” during our symposium (held at the Helena Avenue Theater) and considered the business of death by way of a film & community conversation (conducted in Reeder’s Alley). Access resources & watch the audio-video recording here!
Want to help bring a new program to the Helena & Mountain West communities? Our Community Hubs project is an innovative vision for public humanities that re-centers community as a place of learning. Learn more about our vision & how you can help support it here!

(or what it doesn't) and how it can help you find your way?
