I love being part of the Foundation because our grant program brings together individual donors, corporate fundraising, and a variety of sponsors to support community-based history projects across Montana

I am proud to be a long-time supporter of the Montana History Foundation. Over the years I have watched MHF become the great organization it is today – an organization that brings communities together by providing resources for history and culture.

Visitors reported that our presentation and restoration work was the most impressive of all the other scheduled tour stops. Thanks for the financial support to complete the restoration of our school.

This project has brought the community closer together and seems to have helped people feel like they participated in something special.

I support the Montana History Foundation’s grant program because I LOVE MONTANA and want to preserve, as best we can, the rich history of the people who made this state what it is.

Not only did they teach me how to write a grant in one of their grant writing workshops, they also helped me write a grant requesting help to gather oral histories for the Huntley Project Museum. Then, we were awarded the grant and now they continue to give guidance and encouragement as I move forward with the oral histories. THANK YOU MHF, you are all incredible!

Trudie Porter Biggers, Huntley Project Museum of Irrigated Agriculture

What a great opportunity the MHF has given to organizations and groups to attend the Grant Writing Workshop. The information is pertinent and helpful for not only their grants but also applying for others too! Thanks MHF!

We really love that foundation [MHF] because it really gets right to the core of what the museum is all about, and that is preserving history.  They understand what small museums struggle with.
