Project Grant Application

The Big Sky Institute for the Advancement of Nonprofits will award grants of up to $5,000 through its Montana Nonprofit Connections program (MNC). MNC funding helps grantees engage a consultant to build capacity through activities such as organizational planning, fundraising, financial managment or leadership development for board, staff or volunteers. Only organizations that have done a comprehensive assessment and set organizational priorities within the last 12 months can apply.

To request an application packet, please email Ned Cooney, Project Director, at mnc@bigskyinstitute.org. If the organization meets the eligibility criteria, we will schedule a pre-screening telephone interview. Please send questions to mnc@bigskyinstitute.org.

The deadline for applications is Friday, June 11, 2010, and decisions will be made by mid-July, 2010. Funded capacity-building projects will need to be completed by May of 2011.
