Summary
This funding supports nonprofit organizations with a focus on causes like education, health, human services, conservation, and civic engagement. The goal is to enable sustainable, measurable improvements in communities.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit entities (typically 501(c)(3) organizations). Individual persons, for‑profit corporations, and governmental bodies are generally not eligible (unless there is some special nexus or partnership, depending on the cause and region).
Grants are for projects rather than unrestricted general operating support (unless otherwise indicated). Uses of funds may include program expansion, capacity‑building, training, or infrastructure directly related to program delivery. Infrastructure might include modest equipment or facilities, but large construction or other capital projects may be less likely to be funded.
Grant amounts vary depending on the scale of the project and its potential impact; while specific dollar ranges were not clearly stated in the available material, awards tend to be substantial enough to make a meaningful difference in medium‑sized programs. The foundation looks for projects that are well‑planned, sustainable, with clear metrics for measuring success, and that align with its regional priorities.
Geographically, the grants are available in several states (which the foundation serves) — those where the foundation has existing interest or presence. Applicants outside those states are unlikely to be funded. Preference is often given to projects in rural or underserved communities, and ones that can demonstrate both need and capacity to execute.
The process includes an application phase (with proposals describing the program, need, budget, expected outcomes, and timeline), followed by review by foundation staff or trustees. The foundation may also request additional information, such as past performance, organizational budget, financials, and proof of nonprofit status. Awards are usually announced on a periodic schedule (perhaps quarterly, semiannual, or annual) but exact deadlines may vary.
If you are located in Montana and working in the area of Food & Nutrition, 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.
