MFBF County Program Grant Application
Montana Farm Bureau Federation has established a program to provide up to $10,000 in grants for use in partial funding of worthy county Farm Bureau public relations campaigns and activities. Grants can be a maximum request of $2,000 for each project. Funding priority will be based on the criteria below and in order of the earliest received and approved applications. Requests will be accepted until the total budget has been distributed to worthy county Farm Bureau projects.
Proposals will be judged on the project's ability to address the following:
- Advances the public recognition of Farm Bureau on a local level.
- Analyzes current agriculture issues or problems.
- Advances the scope of work and mission of the county Farm Bureau.
- Funds a new program or significant improvements on an existing program.
- Audience reached and members served.
- County Farm Bureau also dedicates time or financial resources towards the program.
- County Farm Bureau financial resources would not allow for the completion of the project without this grant.
- Grants cannot be used to pass funds through to another organization.
- Grant money cannot be used to send county Farm Bureau members to a conference or meeting. Rather, the grants should be for on-the-ground, county sponsored activities.
County Farm Bureau Program Grant Applications must be submitted and the program completed prior to the end of the current fiscal year (10/1-9/30). If awarded, one half of the funding will be given upon approval and the remaining upon completion. A brief written summary must be submitted upon the completion of the project, prior to September 30th of the project year.
