Grants

To further our mission of encouraging communication, especially electronic, on issues, values and trends of importance to Montanans, GMF offers several types of grants:

General grants for nonprofits and others: for film, TV programs, documentaries, videos, webinars, etc. with applications due April 1.

Commercial broadcast stations: there is no application deadline for grants for programs featuring an urgent, critical issue with time-limited production. (Commercial stations may also apply for a General grant.)

Should you have any questions or concerns, you can always reach out to Bruce Whittenberg, Executive Director of The Greater Montana Foundation, for assistance.

General Grants

General grants are available for nonprofits and others: for film, TV programs, documentaries, videos, webinars, etc. with applications due annually on April 1 and awards made in June.

Commercial Grants

A major goal for GMF’s founder, Ed Craney was to improve commercial broadcasting in the state. There is no deadline for grant applications from commercial stations if you can demonstrate that this is an urgent and critical issue & production is time-limited
