Preserving And Enhancing Montana's Trout Fisheries Grant Program

The Montana Trout Foundation aims to preserve and enhance Montana's wild trout resources through funding scientific research, education, and habitat enhancement. By promoting awareness of water quality and environmental preservation, the foundation supports projects that contribute to healthier fisheries and improved fishing experiences. Their grant program encourages initiatives that align with these goals, ensuring that the natural environment and trout habitats are maintained for future generations.

We believe the best way to accomplish this goal is through funding scientific research, fisheries education, and trout habitat enhancement.
To ensure your request fits our priorities (and therefore qualifies for our grant program), the primary objectives of the MTF are:
To preserve and enhance the wild trout resources of Montana by the encouragement, support and funding of scientific research, education, and habitat enhancement projects.To promote relevant educational activities in order to create a better awareness among the general public of the need for and value of the improvement and maintenance of open spaces, of wild trout habitat, and of the natural environment, whether public or private, with emphasis on the preservation of water quality and on the prevention, detection, and correction of water pollution.
Also keep in mind that an MTF grant can fund initial project assessment, planning, and design that will qualify a project for additional funding through these other sources. Essentially MTF can grant any project that the board deems appropriate based on our mission.
