Grant Application

Our grants focus on Roundup, Choteau and Dutton, Montana.

Specifically, we look to offer seed funding to establish programs that assist youth in the following areas.

  • Mindsets – which are goals, beliefs, and emotions that motivate individuals to achieve an optimal state of functioning (e.g., growth mindset, optimism, self-awareness).  
  • Behaviors – which help enable individuals to act on their full potential. Starting from a place of strength; focus on building and improving behaviors. Behaviors fall under two categories:
    • Thriving Behaviors support personal thriving in all domains of school and personal life and across cognitive, emotional, social, and physical dimensions (e.g., rest, focus, strategic planning, and emotional regulation).
    • Inspiring Behaviors enable youth to empower themselves and others to perform at their best, either in a formal or informal capacity (e.g., motivational, guidance, leadership, and out of the box thinking so youth know no dream is too big).   
  • Outcomes – which are the beneficial results associated with positive mindsets and behaviors (e.g., resilience, productivity, performance, accountability, stress management, positive engagement, and satisfaction).

Organizations and Programs requesting funding, please make sure to include: programmatic focus, target outcomes, and accountability measures.
