Montana financial resourses is made possible by the Maternal Health & Child Block Grant, specifically Title V program funding. This grant is for infants who have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally.
The amount of money available is limited and changes from year to year. Because of this, we will use the information you provide to determine how we can serve your infant based on our volume of donated milk and financial resources available. Most families will qualify for just one to two weeks' worth of donor milk at a reduced price.
Ideal candidates and highest priority for this opportunity are:
- Babies under six months of age
- Families who are working on establishing milk supply but may be experiencing feeding difficulty (e.g., weight loss, jaundice, poor latch)
- Babies with a long-term medical diagnosis
- Babies born premature and /or spent time in the NICU
- Families who are working on increasing milk supply to avoid reliance on breastmilk substitutes

We may ask for the following documents in addition to your application, but they are not always required:
- Chart notes from a healthcare provider showing the medical need for donor milk and/or a Statement of Medical Need.
- Financial documents, such as paystubs and tax forms, to verify income
