About Us

Co-founders Tara and Jonathan Stewart spent years discussing different ideas for a nonprofit. A type 1 diabetic since a young child, Jonathan found being outside was beneficial to his blood sugar and mental health. The outdoors also provided the couple a place to rejuvenate and connect, through camping, hiking, mountain biking, trail running, fly fishing, and skiing.

After years of continued health struggles, Jonathan was also diagnosed with colitis and sarcoidosis, ultimately resulting in the removal of his entire colon in 2022.

During recovery from surgery, the family returned to the outdoors and defined their vision for EverGreen.

Jonathan volunteers as the Executive Director of the Bozeman, MT based organization. With more than 20 years of experience across both private and public sectors, and a background in public relations, strategic communications and organizational planning, he enjoys the challenges associated with building a nonprofit.
