Missoula County Parks, Trails and Recreation is now accepting applications online for its annual Community Parks & Recreation Grants Program.

The program provides funding to help residents and local organizations enhance parks, trails and other public recreation sites. Staff encourage local nonprofits, schools and community groups to apply by 11:59 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30.

$90,000 is available during the 2027 awards cycle for community-driven projects that improve recreation opportunities on public lands located within Missoula County but outside Missoula city limits. Applicants are required to provide a minimum of 25% match of grant funds. Cash, in-kind donations of materials and services, and volunteer hours all qualify as a match. The maximum funding request per application is $30,000. An organization can submit only one grant application per grant cycle.
