"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Beginning October 1, 2012, the Montana Restaurant Rewards program provides restaurants with up to $1,000 in reimbursement for advertising their use of Montana specialty crops on their menus. The reimbursement for advertising is calculated as up to 50% of eligible Montana specialty crop purchases, up to $1,000.

While there is no deadline for applications, be advised that grant funds are limited; timely applications are advised.

This program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Marketing Service’s Specialty Crop Block Grant; therefore, the funds must only be used for the promotion of specialty crops.
