Montana built this. Montana should benefit from it.
CubCloud Community is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm of the CubCloud ecosystem. Every dollar we earn in business is an opportunity to reinvest in the communities we live and operate in. That is not a marketing promise. It is how we built the company.
Led by Joshua Rhines, founding CEO of CubCloud AI. Board of directors actively forming.

Why We Built This
AI is not just infrastructure anymore. It is the platform that the next generation of education, healthcare, economic development, and workforce training is going to be built on. The organizations and communities that have access to it will have real advantages. The ones that do not will fall further behind.
Most of the AI industry is fine with that gap. We are not.
CubCloud builds sovereign AI infrastructure and develops AI platforms, systems, and tools for businesses across Montana and beyond. CubCloud Community exists to make sure that same capability reaches the schools, tribal nations, veteran organizations, and rural communities that the rest of the industry walks past — not because they lack potential, but because they lack access.
We are not a foundation run by a distant corporation. We are your neighbors, operating a block from the Clark Fork, and we take that seriously.
Who We Serve
We built CubCloud Community around four audiences that the AI industry consistently ignores. Not because they are hard to serve. Because they are not in Silicon Valley.
K–12 Schools
Montana has over 400 school districts. Most of them are rural. Most of them cannot afford a tutoring program, let alone an AI one. If you run a school or district where students are falling behind because individualized support simply does not exist, Continuum was built for you. Adaptive, sovereign, and free at the point of delivery for qualifying schools.
Tribal Nations
Tribal nations are not underserved communities. They are sovereign nations that have been handed infrastructure built by and for someone else. CubCloud Community builds AI capacity on tribal terms — dedicated infrastructure, full data sovereignty, no outside access to tribal data. If your nation is ready to own its own AI future, we are ready to build it with you.
Veterans
Montana has one of the highest per-capita veteran populations in the country. Veterans leaving service deserve the same access to AI tools, skills training, and workforce transition resources as anyone else. We work with Montana veteran organizations to put those tools in reach — at no cost to the veteran.
Rural Organizations
Rural cooperatives, health clinics, small town chambers, agricultural organizations, and community nonprofits all run lean. AI tools that could genuinely help them are priced for enterprises with IT departments. CubCloud Community changes that calculus — compute access, AI platforms, and tools built for organizations that do not have a technology budget but absolutely have a mission.
Program applications open soon. If your organization fits any of these areas, get on the interest list now.
Continuum
Some Montana kids have access to great tutors. Most do not.
In rural Montana, the gap between a student who gets individualized academic support and one who does not is often just geography and money. Continuum exists to close that gap.
Continuum is CubCloud Community's flagship education project — an adaptive AI tutoring platform built for Montana K–12 students. It does not teach every student the same way at the same pace. It meets each student where they are, identifies where they need support, and scales with them as they advance across academic disciplines. A student who needs more time gets more time. A student ready to move faster does not wait.
This is what democratized access to AI actually looks like in practice. Not a press release about closing the digital divide. A platform that puts a high-level tutor in front of every Montana student who needs one, regardless of where they live or what their district can afford.
Continuum is built on CubCloud's sovereign AI infrastructure and developed in partnership with AI researchers and academics. Every student's data stays in Montana.
Currently in active development. We are building the research and academic partnerships that will make Continuum credible at scale. If you are an educator, researcher, or school administrator who wants to be part of this, we want to hear from you now — not after it launches.
How It's Funded
CubCloud AI donates 15% of every dollar of profit directly to CubCloud Community. No board vote required. No annual debate about whether community investment fits the budget. It is built into the structure of the company.
That covers operations and program funding. But building and deploying AI platforms, systems, and tools at the scale Montana needs is bigger than one company's profit margin.
This is where you come in.
CubCloud Community accepts three kinds of support:
Cash Donations
Every dollar goes directly into programs — Continuum, veteran support, tribal partnerships, and rural access. CubCloud Community is a registered 501(c)(3). All cash donations are tax-deductible.
Equipment Donations
Servers, GPUs, networking hardware, and workstations that have aged out of your infrastructure can still run meaningful workloads for Montana schools, tribal organizations, and veteran programs. We rack it, maintain it, and operate it at CubCloud facilities in Montana. Donated equipment is generally tax-deductible at fair market value. Donors receive a written acknowledgment letter for tax purposes.
Partnerships & Sponsorships
Montana businesses and institutions that want a structured relationship with CubCloud Community — program sponsorships, named partnerships, or in-kind support — can reach us directly.
CubCloud Community operates with independent governance and publishes annual financial disclosures.
Donate Equipment
We handle the logistics. Donated equipment is racked and operated at CubCloud facilities in Montana.
Recipient organizations get access to compute and AI platforms they could not otherwise afford. Consult your tax advisor for your specific situation.
What we accept:
NVIDIA GPUs (Maxwell architecture or newer), servers, networking hardware, workstations, and storage arrays in working condition.
What we cannot accept:
Consumer-grade laptops, broken or untested hardware, equipment manufactured before 2014, or hardware requiring proprietary software licenses we cannot obtain.
We evaluate every donation and will tell you honestly if something is not a fit.
Get Involved
This page is for you if you run a rural school district with no tutoring budget. If you represent a tribal nation ready to own your own infrastructure. If you work with Montana veterans who need real workforce tools. If you lead a rural organization doing essential work with no technology support.
AI is reshaping what is possible for every organization that can access it. CubCloud Community exists to make sure that access is not determined by zip code, budget, or geography. We have compute, we have platforms in development, and we have a team that builds things. Come build this with us.
