The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) is accepting applications for its Conservation Education Grant Program, which supports forestry and natural-resource education for pre-K through 12th grade students and educators.
Funding: awards are typically $3,000 or less, although the program manager may approve larger awards on a limited basis. Funds must be expended within one calendar year.
Application window: applications opened January 15, 2026. The first review closed February 15, but DNRC states that additional review is ongoing until December 31, 2026 or until all funds are awarded. No fixed closing time or time zone is stated for the rolling period.
Eligible applicants: nonprofits, county or municipal governments, state government, tribal governments, community groups, educational institutions, educators and individuals.
Eligible projects: outdoor nature-education activities for youth pre-K through grade 12, facilitator training, professional development in conservation education, and associated facilitation, meeting, travel and registration costs.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 54/100. This is a legitimate, currently open Montana education opportunity with a broad applicant pool and rolling availability, but the typical award is small and the scope is narrowly focused on conservation education.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The controlling program does not support a legitimate remote physical exam, telehealth, diagnostics or remote-patient-monitoring role.
Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit: 0/100 based on the program purpose and applicant profile. QC Healthcare fit: 0/100.
