Montana Rural Explorer – October 2023

As we close out another fiscal year, our dedicated program staff have sprinted to the finish line to ensure applications to fund programs and projects for rural and Tribal businesses, communities, and families across Montana are processed and delivered in a timely manner. I am so proud of the work they do on behalf of our neighbors across the state.

This edition of the Montana Rural Explorer is full of funding opportunities – new and existing – to help businesses grow, communities and homeowners recover from natural disaster, and Tribal communities improve infrastructure and educational opportunities.

I also encourage you to check out our Montana RD News section to learn about the impact of our programs and how they help elevate rural communities.

Finally, I’d like to thank our partners across the state – economic developers, Tribal organizations, financial and lending institutions, local governments and so many more. Our ability to deliver program services to our Montana neighbors would not be possible without your support.

USDA Rural Development is an investor, ally, and advocate for rural America.
