We offer two types of grants, regular and urgent needs. • Regular grants are available periodically throughout the year for specific initiatives. Urgent need grants are available any time for sudden, unexpected costs, which if left unaddressed, will result in a disruption of existing services to members. • What are Loans? • Loans are financial assistance made to support low-income designated credit unions with programs to improve members’ financial health and well-being. A credit union may apply for a loan at any time. However, awards are subject to funds availability. Regulating Financial Services, Protecting Montanans
