Grants
GRANTS: MORE THAN $2500
Grant Window Opens Aug. 15, Closes Sept. 30
At the Montana Wheat & Barley Committee, we promote local research and develop trade markets around the world.
Grant awards are divided into three categories: Research, Market Development, and Education.
Awards focus on the relationship to the wheat and barley industries. MWBC will consider those projects which might improve wheat and barley quality and production, farm practices and end-use characteristics. Projects or activities which help grow markets for Montana grain producers are considered, along with education activities that serve agriculture youth, promote learning, and prosper agriculture in a community.
All submissions will be reviewed each fall for award in the consecutive calendar year. They are not limited to Montana and MWBC encourages organizations to apply if projects align with the MWBC mission.
SPONSORSHIPS: $2500 AND UNDER
Sponsorships -- Open Call June 1-15, 2026
Sponsorship awards are an important part of MWBC’s support of youth, Montana agriculture progress, and citizen education, with particular attention to those activities, events or projects which align with our mission. Jump to the Education Page for additional background about telling our grain story.
Sponsorships are awarded quarterly: January, April, June and October. Awards are limited to $2,500 per entity and must align to the MWBC mission. When funding is depleted, no further applications shall be accepted for that quarter.
