The award includes $2,500 in one-time additional funds for travel related to training during FY 2024. The organization receiving this grant, Rocky Mountain Development Council, Inc. (RMDC), is a non-profit human services provider in south central Montana that has been delivering federally-funded community development, education, health, and human services programs since 1965. As part of this SCP grant, RMDC will leverage its experience administering other federal awards, including the AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program, Senior Companion Program, and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program.
