Now is the time to begin looking at ways you can improve your community through grant assistance. Upcoming opportunities for funding include:
- Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): Applications are due by March 31st, and funds are to be awarded this Summer. Another grant cycle begins in Fall 2022.
- Renewable Resource Grant and Loan Program (RRGL): Applications are due by May 15th, and funds are dependent upon legislative approval in 2023.
- Montana Coal Endowment Program (MCEP): Applications are anticipated to be due in May or June 2022, and funds are dependent upon legislative approval in 2023.
What makes a successful application?
- Updated Community Planning Documents
- Public Involvement
- Documentation of public health or natural resource issues
- Commitment of all funding
- Well-written technical document
Each grant application requires that a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) or a Preliminary Architectural Report (PAR) be completed. Both PERs and PARs require an analysis of the conditions of the community, existing facilities, and the need for the project.
