The Montana Trout Foundation is dedicated to preserving and enhancing wild trout resources. This non-political, non-partisan 501c3 nonprofit organization focuses on achieving its aim through the funding of scientific research, fisheries education, and trout habitat enhancement. Positioned from an angler-based perspective, their efforts are aimed at not only improving fisheries but also enhancing the fishing experience for everyone.
The Montana Trout Foundation's grant program is designed to support projects that align with its primary objectives: the preservation and enhancement of Montana's wild trout resources through scientific research, education, and habitat enhancement. The program emphasizes the importance of promoting educational activities to raise public awareness about the value of maintaining open spaces, wild trout habitats, and natural environments, with a special focus on preserving water quality and addressing water pollution. The grant supports initial project assessments, planning, and design, potentially qualifying projects for additional funding.
