MANAGING YOUR GRANT
Successfully completing your project, one historic step at a time
LET’S MAKE HISTORY
Congratulations on receiving a grant from the Foundation for Montana History! We are thrilled we get to make history happen together.
LIFE CYCLE OF A GRANT
Once a grant has been awarded, there are a couple of reports that must be submitted to ensure it is executed successfully. Our reporting is an opportunity to identify specific learnings that arise from all aspects of the project including planning, implementation, and the initial impacts that may present themselves. Below is an overview of the grant administration process that outlines the life cycle of a grant.
-
Once the Foundation awards a grant, the grantee will receive a Grant Agreement that outlines the particulars of the grant, including whether or not any ontingencies or conditions were placed on it. The Agreement must be signed by the organization’s leader. For grants over $5,000, the Foundation will advance 75% of the grant amount to Grantee upon return of the signed Agreement. For grants $5,000 and less, the Foundation will advance 100% of the grant amount to Grantee upon return of the signed Agreement.

Used to relay updates about your project. Please send us high-quality photos so that we can understand and showcase your work! See the Photo Guide below. We highly encourage grantees to submit photos at various stages of the project.
-
Once the project is complete (and before June of the following calendar year), the grantee will submit a Final Report. This Report demonstrates how the funds were used and it also provides an opportunity to share the results and impact of the grant award. This report will include project photographs, receipts for expenses paid with Foundation funds, and required matching funds. Once the Final Report is received and approved, any remaining grant installments will be released to the grantee.
