The Montana Wildlife Habitat Improvement Program (WHIP) is currently accepting grant applications. The application process for this year was initiated in a grant administering system that Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has decided to replace due to software issues. WHIP applications will instead be offered through the WebGrants system for the current application period.
Grant applicants can find the FWP WHIP Grant Cycle 2022 funding opportunity at https://funding.mt.gov. Applicants new to WebGrants must register prior to accessing the application forms. For more information about WHIP and grant application instructions, visit the WHIP webpage at https://fwp.mt.gov/aboutfwp/grant-programs/wildlife-habitat-improvement.
The WHIP application deadline has been extended to 5 p.m. on Dec. 3, 2021, to give applicants additional time to switch their applications over to WebGrants. If you have questions about applying for a WHIP grant or accessing WebGrants, contact Kim Antonick, WHIP coordinator, at kim.antonick@mt.gov or 406-444-7291.
