In 2002, it was renamed the Bozeman Area Community Foundation to better describe its expanding mission. Over the next several years, the foundation added staff and board members, hosted nonprofit trainings and resources, facilitated community conversations and giving circles, administered grants to local nonprofits, and managed endowment funds.

In 2020, the foundation went through a rebranding process, adopting the name One Valley Community Foundation to support its growing mission to address the unique needs of each community in the Gallatin Valley, while uniting residents together in common goals of enhancing and further improving the quality of lives here. Today, One Valley Community Foundation is proud to be the community foundation serving the Gallatin Valley.
