Grants program

The Montana Native Plant Society Grant Program provides funding to projects that stimulate research, conservation, and educational activities that help foster an appreciation for Montana’s native plants and plant communities. These grants are intended to promote native plant conservation through better understanding of our native flora and the factors affecting their survival.

Our next grant cycle opens July 1st, 2026. Maximum request limits and more details will be announced then. Stay tuned!
