Summary
This grant supports nonprofit organizations in Montana, focusing on youth education, conservation, and other under-served community needs. It offers funding in each spring and fall cycle, with the Foundation distributing around $400,000–$465,000 each round to multiple recipient charities—typically 18–21 groups per cycle.
To be eligible, organizations must hold 501(c)(3) status and have annual revenues ranging from approximately $25,000 to $2 million. Projects may be either new initiatives or expansions of existing efforts, and funds must be used within twelve months. Applicants can propose specific programs—such as educational camps, conservation efforts, youth mentoring, or support services—rather than general operational expenses .
Typical grant awards vary widely depending on the type of project, spanning from small grants (just a few thousand dollars) to substantial support, with the total pool averaging around $400K per round. In recent cycles, a single organization might receive anywhere between roughly $10,000 and $140,000, depending on the category—education, conservation, or community supports.
Applicants must submit proposals by April 15 (spring) or October 15 (fall). Funds are usually disbursed after review, and recipients are required to report back midway through their grant period. Funds are intended for transformative, high-impact programming —such as outdoor learning, environmental stewardship, youth mentorship, access to essential services, or expanding capacity of local nonprofits.
This opportunity is ideal for registered nonprofits looking to create or grow community-minded projects in Montana. It’s especially well suited for those delivering measurable, local impact in education, conservation, youth outreach, or support for underserved populations.
