ACE: Supporting Safer, Healthier Communities
A group home in Glasgow, Montana installs an alarm system for their residents. A summer camp in Helena replaces outdated life jackets for the safety of their campers and instructors. A Senior Center in Eureka rebuilds its deteriorating front steps. What do these three organizations have in common? They each received a grant through Montana State Fund’s ACE (Assisting Charitable Endeavors) program to finance their projects.
What is ACE?
ACE is MSF’s charitable giving program. It provides funds to Montana based non-profit organizations for projects that promote safety implementation and improvements. Over 290 organizations have received a total of $530,000 in grant monies since the programs start in 2001. Grants range from $250 –$10,000 and require a dollar-for-dollar match.
ACE Criteria
An ACE Grant proposal must fit within the scope of Montana State Fund’s normal business and operations:
- The project will be used to promote workplace safety, host safety trainings, or assist with the purchase of equipment that enhances safety and community well-being.
- The project will result in a widespread benefit for a Montana community or the state.
- The project benefits a representative cross section of small and large communities across Montana.
- The project will have the potential to result in positive public communication
