Montana State Fund’s vision is to be an indispensable partner in achieving a safer, healthier, and more prosperous Montana. One of our programs that reflects this vision is our Assisting Charitable Endeavors (ACE) program. In 2021, we expanded the program to offer the Montana non-profit community more financial support.

What is ACE?
ACE is MSF’s charitable giving program that provides matching funds to Montana based non-profit organizations for projects that promote safety implementation and improvements.  The program began in 2001. Since its foundation, 280 organizations have received a total of $488,000 in grant monies.

Grants range from $250 – $10,000.  In the past, our maximum grant amount was $2,000.  All ACE applications 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 as a whole.
• 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
