In our ongoing effort to support members and the communities they reside in, the Montana Nursery & Landscape Association has established a Community Beautification Fund. This program is funded by donations to the live and silent auction fundraiser that is held during the annual MT Green Expo Convention and Trade Show, and grants project funds to communities across the state that meet the following guidelines:

• Highlight the nursery and landscape industry
• Improve outdoor public spaces
• Add value to the communities of our members
• Engage current and prospective MNLA members
• Demonstrate the value of quality, professional landscape services

Awarded funds may be used for:

• Plant material
• Hardscape materials
• Materials such as soil, compost, fertilizer and other amendments
• Rental equipment costs or equipment and operator time
• Food and beverage cost for volunteer events

Professional services such as design, installation, irrigation and maintenance may be considered but priority will be given to projects where community members and companies demonstrate a commitment to the project with donated labor. Award amounts will be determined by the review committee based on the funds available and number of applications received.
