LC 2597 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise criteria for cultural and arts grant program

This bill updates how Montana's cultural and arts grants are prioritized by establishing a ranking system based on an organization's past funding history and annual operating budget. It gives priority to organizations that have not received grants before and those with smaller budgets, while also allowing smaller projects under $100,000 to request a waiver from a federal reporting requirement. The legislation also clarifies the advisory committee's role in reviewing grant proposals and requires them to submit recommendations to the legislature by the 15th day of each regular session. These changes directly affect Montana arts organizations applying for state cultural and aesthetic project grants.
