    About Montana Youth Sports Association

    The Montana Youth Sports Association funds community-based youth athletics across Montana, prioritizing booster clubs, school-affiliated programs, and local sports associations that support participation and program costs. Grants are focused on promoting youth sports participation rather than broad education or infrastructure, with awards targeted to towns and school communities throughout the state.

    Focus Areas

    K-12 school booster clubs supporting interscholastic athletics in MontanaCommunity youth football programs (town-level associations)Local youth soccer associations in Montana communitiesFaith-affiliated school athletic programs in Billings and surrounding areasRural and small-town youth sports program support and promotion

    Who They Fund

    Montana youth (children and adolescents)local/community-level participants

    Giving Approach

    Modest number of mid-sized grants ($5,000–$10,000) concentrated within Montana; funding is distributed across multiple local organizations rather than concentrated in a single flagship grantee, favoring booster clubs and town sports associations.

    About Montana Youth Sports Association

    Montana Youth Sports Association Inc. centers its grantmaking on youth athletics participation, with awards repeatedly routed to booster clubs, school-linked programs, and local sports associations across Montana. The recent record shows a practical pattern: support for competitive activities, equipment, and program costs rather than broad institutional funding. A 2025 grant of $10,000 to Elysian PTO in Billings reflects that approach, as does $8,500 to Wildcat Booster Club in Plentywood in 2023. The foundation’s giving is rooted in community-level sports organizations that help children and adolescents participate in organized athletics. It has backed football, soccer, baseball, softball, hockey, and boxing programs, along with school-affiliated athletic groups. Grants also reach rural towns and smaller communities such as Bainville, Culbertson, Drummond, and Whitefish, showing a statewide pattern rather than a single-sport or single-city focus. Its grant program accepts unsolicited applications from Montana-based youth sports teams, organizations, and individuals through a general grant program, and applicants or parent organizations must be 501(c)(3) entities. That structure fits a funder focused on direct, local support for participation in competitive athletics within Montana.

    What Montana Youth Sports Association Funds

    In school-centered athletics, Montana Youth Sports Association Inc. gave $7,000 to Bainville Bulldog Booster Club for promoting Montana youth sports, and $2,500 to Whitefish High School Baseball for the same purpose. Those awards fit a clear interest in interscholastic and booster-club support. Town-level recreation is another visible theme. The foundation awarded $5,000 to Yellowstone Youth Football in Billings and $5,000 to Sidney Soccer Association in Sidney, indicating support for organized youth sports that serve local participants beyond a single school setting. It also funds smaller community programs and sport-specific groups. Recent grants include $2,500 to Miles City Youth Hockey Association and $1,800 to Billings Elite Amateur Boxing, showing that the portfolio extends across both team sports and individual athletic activities. Rural access appears in the record as well, with awards to groups in places such as Plentywood, Culbertson, and Drummond.

    Typical grant size is tightly clustered: the p25 is $2,000, the median is $2,500, and the p75 is $2,590. That suggests a program built around small, operating-style awards rather than large one-time commitments. The recent list also shows repeat recipients across years, including Gvchsa, Lockwood Booster Club, Miles City Youth Hockey Assoc, Billings AL Baseball, and Wildcat Booster Club. The foundation operates a general grant program for Montana-based youth sports teams, organizations, and individuals, and it accepts unsolicited applications. Applicants, or a parent organization, must be a 501(c)(3).

    Where Montana Youth Sports Association Makes Grants

    Grantmaking is overwhelmingly Montana-based: 94% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and the recipient country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. Billings appears frequently in the recent grants list, alongside Plentywood, Bozeman, Sidney, Miles City, Whitefish, Lockwood, and Culbertson. The pattern extends to smaller communities such as Bainville, Drummond, Park City, and Gallatin Gateway, showing statewide reach rather than concentration in one metro area.
