Deadline For MFU Foundation Grant Applications May 1

The deadline to apply for $30,000 in grant funding from the Montana Farmers Union Foundation is fast approaching on May 1.

Since 2022, the Foundation has awarded and leveraged more than $60,000 to projects across the state that align with the Foundation’s mission to create new opportunities and contribute to the growth and enhancement of Montana agriculture and rural communities.

Project applications must include an educational component for youth and/or adults with priority given to rural communities.

Projects previously funded have been wide ranging, from creating school gardens to documentaries about women in ag to greenhouse construction costs to after-school garden club programming to purchasing 4-D livestock anatomy models for students to practice veterinary techniques to buying shop tools to purchasing hydroponics units to providing new freezers to expand farm to school programs, and more.

The grant program is open to anyone from Montana, with a simple application to encourage submissions. Apply by May 1 here: https://montanafarmersunion.com/education/scholarships-grants/.
