2012-2013 Museum & School Collaborative
Grant Opportunity to Integrate Indian Education for All


 The Office of Public Instruction and the Montana Historical Society have teamed up to provide support for collaborative efforts between a local museum and school district to address a two-fold purpose: exploring ways to become co-educators in topics of Montana American Indian culture and history in a museum setting and the public school classroom, and improving the presentation of American Indian history, artifacts and related documents in museum collections.

Up to six grants will be awarded for amounts of $7,000 - 10,000, with priority given to communities which have not participated in a prior IEFA museum - school grant. The first step is to define the potential collaboration. The second step: complete the Letter of Intent form by April 23. The third step is to develop and submit a complete grant proposal by June 22. Upon approval, grant funding begins July 1, 2012 - June 15, 2013.
