Ideal Applicant
A Montana-based school, scholarship fund, or small educational program seeking modest operating or scholarship support (typical requests in the low thousands) and able to meet a mailed-application process and an April 1 deadline.
Good Fit
- • Organization or student is located in Montana.
- • Request is for education beyond high school or direct scholarship support.
- • Requested amount is in the typical $1k–$5k range.
- • Application submitted via the provided mailed contact and by the April 1 deadline.
- • Ability to demonstrate local ties or previous small grants to similar schools/programs.
Geography
Observed giving across the available years is entirely to Montana recipients; every grant in the filings is in-state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 41 distinct recipients (and similar counts in prior years) including individual scholarship awards and many schools, indicating a broad set of independent beneficiaries rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (about 11 new recipients in 2024 and 15 in 2023) and a formal application route is provided (attached application with an April 1 deadline and a mailed contact), so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to access funding.
