Montana is one of the last true wilderness states left in America, with sweeping beautiful natural landscapes and an abundance of natural resources. However there are many challenges facing those who live in this state as well. The state requires massive infrastructure development, particularly in transportation and housing. There are also concerns that the natural landscapes that make Montana so unique may themselves be under threat. 

There are many nonprofits that make it their mission to tackle all of these issues, and more. But these nonprofits are only able to pursue their missions thanks to the generous funding provided by Montana grants. These grants can cover all kinds of activities that Montana nonprofits might seek to pursue their goals and purposes. 

There are many different kinds of organizations that might provide these kinds of grants. These can include state agencies such as the Montana Department of Commerce Grants, as well as private and community foundations such as the Montana Healthcare Foundation or the Montana Community Foundation.

When drafting a grant proposal focused on a particular state, you need to collect comprehensive, accurate and local data to back up your claims. What data you’ll want to focus on will depend on the mission of your nonprofit. A good place to start looking for these statistics can include local health and education departments, as well as regional environmental and economic studies.
