Ideal Applicant
Small or medium nonprofit focused on environmental conservation, Indigenous communities, or local Montana community services seeking general operating support and demonstrable local impact.
Good Fit
- • Clear program alignment with environmental preservation or Indigenous/community work in Montana.
- • Requesting general operating support or modest program funding in the typical $5K–$125K range.
- • Demonstrated local impact or partnerships in Montana communities.
- • Ability to show organizational stability and past results for operating support.
Geography
The observed footprint is heavily concentrated in Montana—about three quarters of the dollars in 2024—although grants also reached a handful of other states (seven states in total).
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad recipient set (32 distinct organizations in 2024) spanning land trusts, youth organizations, shelters, Indigenous groups and academic partners, with many independent grantees rather than a tiny closed list.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes a public online application process with a specific deadline and 21 new recipients in the latest year, and three years of history showing both new and repeat grantees, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to join the portfolio.
