Grant Overview
Montana limits eligibility for the $1,000 quarterly award to applicants whose projects serve schools located within the state's 48 counties. Nonprofit organizations must hold active 501(c)(3) status and provide articles of incorporation filed with the Montana Secretary of State. Small businesses must demonstrate current registration with the Montana Department of Revenue and fewer than 25 full-time employees. Both entity types must operate the proposed wildlife conservation education activities exclusively in Montana public or tribal schools.
Applications require a letter from the participating school district confirming that the curriculum supplements existing science standards rather than duplicating district staff duties. Proposals must include a budget showing that the $1,000 will cover only direct program costs such as field trip transportation or printed materials, with no allocation for administrative overhead exceeding 10%. Review occurs quarterly with awards limited to one nonprofit and one business per cycle.
Montana's eligibility rules differ from those in Idaho and Wyoming because applicants must also submit proof that activities will occur on lands classified as non-urban by the U.S. Census Bureau. This requirement reflects the state's 67% rural population share and the concentration of schools in counties with fewer than 10,000 residents. Organizations located outside Montana are ineligible regardless of proposed service delivery.
Data from the Montana Office of Public Instruction show that 312 schools operate in counties with wildlife management areas within 30 miles. Applicants must identify at least one such school and provide the most recent enrollment figures. Proposals that do not meet these geographic and enrollment thresholds are returned without review. The program maintains these criteria to ensure funds reach entities already embedded in Montana's sparse school network.
