2026 Grants: Letter of Inquiry Process - 2026 Grant Request Process Now Closed The Foundation will only consider requests that benefit rural communities in Idaho, Montana, and in Native nations with whom we share this geography. We will not consider requests for work benefiting urban or suburban areas, or those more rural areas immediately adjacent, or in close proximity, to an urbanized area.
In Idaho, urban areas include the Boise-Nampa Metropolitan Statistical Area, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Coeur d’Alene, Twin Falls, Lewiston, Post Falls, Rexburg, Moscow, and their suburbs. In Montana, urban areas include Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman, Butte, Helena, Kalispell, and their suburbs. We give priority to organizations based in rural communities who are working in rural areas, including Native-led organizations.
We will also consider inquiries from organizations based in urban areas for proposed work in a rural community with whom they can demonstrate an existing high level of engagement. For funding in rural or tribal communities in Idaho and Montana, and the Native nations that share this geography, the application process begins with a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) that must be submitted via the Foundation’s online grant portal.
To establish an account, or to access an existing account, click here . You may create an account at any time. Please have contact information, an email address, and your organization’s federal tax ID number available when you register.
If you have registered previously, we encourage you to log back in to your existing account to submit an LOI. We will open the LOI process on January 12, 2026. We will close it once we have received 100 LOIs, which may be within days.
To track the number of LOIs received to date, log on to your account and click the Apply section. You must complete the online LOI form, and submit it for your inquiry to be considered. We recommend that you save your work frequently while completing an LOI on our grant portal.
We received 100 LOIs before January 18, 2026, closed the process on that date and allowed anyone who had begun one online by then to submit it within three business days. The 2026 Letter of Inquiry Information Packet allows applicants to review questions prior to filling out the form online and includes full instructions and answers to frequently asked questions.
You may use this packet as a tool to prepare your answers offline to paste into the online LOI form after it opens on January 12. In the interest of transparency about the grant process, this packet also includes a list of application questions we will ask of those we later invite to submit full applications, and the final report questions we will ask in the summer of 2027 of those who receive grants.
By March 2, 2026, we will respond to all organizations that submit an LOI to either invite them to complete full applications by April 1, 2026, or to let them know that we are unable to further consider their proposals. Sadly, the amount of available grant funds limits the number of applications we are able to invite and the number of them we are able to fund.
An LOI that does not result in an invitation for a full application, or an application that does not receive funding, is in no way a reflection of the value of an organization or its work. After promptly signing grant agreements and providing bank account information, organizations that receive grants can expect funds to be wired into their accounts by late August.
To explore the possible fit between your priorities and what we are able to consider supporting, please contact Linda Tracy, Western Director , between August and early December. If you have any questions or difficulties, we encourage you to contact her well ahead of the LOI deadline. Idaho and Montana Grant Program 2026 Letter of Inquiry Packet
