Review the six programs shown here and choose the closest fit for your project. Explain the connection in your application. Applying does not guarantee an award.

Enter your contact name and email address, then select your applicant type. A phone number is optional. Double-check your email so the Foundation can contact you about your request.

If you're applying for a group, add the organization name and your role or title. Individuals may leave the organization field blank. A website or project link is optional.

If you include a link, use the full web address. Give your project a clear name and select its primary program. Then identify the Montana communities or counties it will serve.

You can name a city, county, tribal community, or describe a statewide project. Describe what you plan to do, why it is needed, and how it connects to the program you selected. Use plain language and concrete activities.
