Summary
A unique grant opportunity is available to support grassroots organizations and communities working to address the impacts of mining and related environmental concerns. This funding program is designed to uplift smaller nonprofit groups and Indigenous communities who are engaged in advocacy, research, and education aimed at protecting land, water, culture, and public health. The grants are meant to help those working at the local level who may not have access to larger funding sources.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and tribal groups based in the United States or Canada. Preference is often given to smaller, community-based initiatives, especially those led by Indigenous communities or groups operating with limited resources. Individuals may be eligible if they apply through a qualified fiscal sponsor. The program encourages projects that are locally driven and that involve direct community engagement or support.
Grant funding can be used for a wide range of purposes, including environmental assessments, public awareness campaigns, mapping and documentation efforts, advocacy activities, and more. The funds aim to help communities build capacity, raise awareness, and advocate for the preservation of natural and cultural resources that may be affected by mining operations.
Funding amounts are relatively modest, allowing groups to take on meaningful but manageable projects. Applications are accepted multiple times per year, giving organizations flexibility in timing. This opportunity can be especially beneficial for those in remote or rural areas where funding options are limited.
This grant opportunity presents a meaningful chance for community groups to take practical steps in defending and preserving their local environment and heritage from the risks and consequences of mining development.
If you are located in Montana and working in the area of Community Development & Services, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
