CIP grant reminder

Eastern Plains Economic Development is reminding local communities of the grant opportunity through The Community Investment Program with Grid United. The Community Investment Program (CIP) was established at the Montana Community Foundation by Grid United. CIP supports communities in Rosebud, Custer, and Fallon County, where Grid United's North Plains Connector, a transmission line connecting U.S. eastern and western electric grids in Montana and North Dakota, will be located. CIP funds support innovative projects that enhance quality of life while strengthening communities in this corner of Eastern Montana.

The second application deadline is Nov 1st. Applicants must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit or government entity. Individuals and for-profits are ineligible; however, individuals and for-profits may apply through a fiscal sponsor that is eligible. Applicants do not need to be based in Rosebud, Custer, or Fallon County; however, grants must be used for projects benefiting communities in these counties.
