Each year, large companies and organizations across North America award sizable grants to community-based programs that demonstrate the ability to serve the needs of specific groups in their region. Grants can often range from $50,000–$100,000. To secure such significant funding, a program must prepare an extensive grant application that often requires high-level writing skills and a well-produced video or other project as evidence of past success. Too often, deserving programs that lack the resources or skills to create such materials can never qualify.

With this situation in mind, MTNA awards Program Development Grants that provide “seed funds,” of up to $5,000, to assist in the creation of application materials that can lead to larger funding from other organizations. This grant is not for operational funding.
