2027 Grant Opportunities

Applications are due by 5pm on Friday January 15, 2027.

The Foundation for Montana History is excited to announce two grant opportunities in 2027!

1. Up to $15,000 project grants

   • The applicant organization must be a non-profit tax-exempt organization (IRS designation) or an exempt governmental unit.

   • Organizations may only apply for one grant from The Foundation: the regular $15,000 round OR the High Impact Grant round.

   • Applicants must provide a 25% match (this can include volunteer time).

2. Up to $30,000 High Impact Grants - (guidelines above apply)

   • Applicant organizations must have successfully completed at least one grant project with The Foundation for Montana History between 2014-2026. Organizations with an open Foundation grant are not eligible to apply.

   • Preference will be given to projects that demonstrate community partnerships. For example, if the applicant is a museum, the project might include partnerships with a local school, senior center, community development organization, or tourism office.

   • Projects must be shovel ready/ready to execute.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss project eligibility, please reach out to our Grants Manager at grants@mthistory.org

Awards will be announced in early April 2027.

Projects must be completed by June 30, 2028.
