About the company
Carter County Geological Society, doing business as Carter County Museum, a Montana-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Ekalaka, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on paleontological collections, museum exhibition, and public STEAM education programming. The organization holds no federal contracts; all three recent awards are federal grants, with 100% prime recipient status and no subcontractor activity. The museum competes full-and-open in federal grant programs with no SBA set-aside designations.
Carter County Museum operates as a recipient under two federal agencies: the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Montana-Dakotas Region. IMLS has issued two project grants under the Museums for America program (CFDA 45.301) totaling approximately $1.86 million combined. The first award, $553,932, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028, funds development and exhibition of paleontological materials in the museum's expanded Dinosaur Hall, including purchases of mobile display cases and three-dimensional printed fossil reproductions from the Carter County area — including a Triceratops skull, the largest and most complete Pachycephalosaur skull, and early mammal prints for an Ice Age exhibit. The second and most recent IMLS award, $1.307 million effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029, supports implementation of the Ekalaktic Dome, an immersive learning and gathering space featuring a planetarium projection system, audio system with assistive listening technology, immersive lighting, and event presentation equipment; deliverables include staff training on integrated systems and expanded school tours, STEAM programming, public lectures, and community events. A third award — a cooperative agreement with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Montana-Dakotas Region for $50 thousand, effective September 24, 2025, through September 23, 2027 — funds archival housing, stabilization, and public display of the Blair Triceratops fossil specimen in the newly expanded Dinosaur Hall. Two awards (combined value approximately $1.86 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will face recompete in that window. The museum serves Carter County residents, regional K-12 students and educators, and visitors drawn to the Hell Creek Formation, a globally significant paleontological site.
