Montana Noxious Weed Trust Fund Grant

Montana Noxious Weed Management Advisory Council
The Montana Noxious Weed Trust Fund (NWTF) Grant Program was established by the 1985 Montana Legislature to provide funding for the noxious weed research projects, state and community education/development projects, and local cooperative – landowner cost share. Applicants may apply for funding up to $75,000 per project.
Noxious Weed Trust Fund grant funds may not be used for:
- Application expenditures – developing grant proposals, grant hearing travel expense
- Purchase of biocontrol agents
- Equipment purchases
- Indirect costs
- Capital improvements
- Annual herbicide for cropland/CRP practices
- Re-seeding efforts for alfalfa fields, grain for wildlife habitat, or other cropland situations
All grant projects should complement and enhance the Montana Weed Management Plan and focus on state or county listed noxious weeds. Grant funding is provided as reimbursement for completed project expenditures.
Be sure to attend the Grant Writing Workshop and/or office hours before submitting your application.
