About the company
The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), a state government entity headquartered in Helena, Montana, acts as a federal grant recipient delivering forest management, wildfire mitigation, water resource management, and natural resource conservation services to federal agencies across 24 distinct customer organizations. DNRC is organizationally subordinate to the Montana Department of Public Health. The agency holds no federal contracts as a prime or sub contractor; all federal engagement flows through grant awards—328 prime grants and 6 sub-grant positions across recent activity.
DNRC's federal grant portfolio centers on forestry and wildfire risk reduction. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 1 (Northern Region) dominates the recipient footprint at 86 awards with $178 thousand in combined potential value, followed at distance by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) at 94 combined awards across its headquarters and regional offices. EPA Region 8 has awarded 17 grants, and the Department of the Interior (through the Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and U.S. Geological Survey) has issued 23 awards. Representative prime grant work spans the Cooperative Forestry Assistance program (CFDA 10.664) for forest stewardship, fuel reduction, and seedling production; the State & Private Forestry Cooperative Fire Assistance program (CFDA 10.698) for volunteer fire department support and community wildfire protection planning; and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act Community Wildfire Defense Grants program (CFDA 10.720) for wildfire risk mitigation. A $9.07 million Cooperative Forestry Assistance award from the Forest Service (August 2026, performance through July 2031) supports wildfire mitigation, forest stewardship, conservation education, and forest health management across Montana's wildland-urban interface. A $49.77 million Climate Pollution Reduction Grants award from EPA (October 2024, performance through October 2029) funds greenhouse gas reduction through forest management, urban forestry expansion, coal seam fire mitigation, nonpoint source pollution reduction, and agricultural stewardship. DNRC also administers sub-awards to volunteer fire departments, local conservation districts, and nonprofit partners—notably the Montana Conservation Corps and Montana State University—to implement on-the-ground projects.
DNRC's secondary grant portfolio addresses flood hazard mapping, dam safety, water supply forecasting, drinking water infrastructure, and groundwater protection. FEMA's Cooperating Technical Partners program (CFDA 97.045) has awarded DNRC multiple cooperative agreements exceeding $10 million in aggregate to support National Flood Insurance Program technical services, flood risk mapping, and community resilience efforts. The National Dam Safety Program (CFDA 97.041) has funded dam inspections, emergency action planning, and infrastructure improvements. EPA has funded underground injection control programs, safe drinking water act compliance assistance to underserved communities, and aquatic invasive species prevention. The Bureau of Reclamation awarded $1.67 million for water supply forecasting and hydrologic modeling in the Upper Yellowstone watershed.
DNRC's activity profile shows concentration in recent calendar years—26 awards in 2022 and 31 in 2023—with a downturn to 8 awards in 2026 (year-to-date through late September), reflecting the lag between federal appropriation cycles and award issuance rather than demand decline. Across the 334 awards in the source data spanning back to 2004, DNRC has obligated $447.3 million against a combined potential value of $1.1 million—a ratio indicating that dollar obligations substantially exceed potential-value estimates, a pattern typical of multi-year cooperative agreements and formula grants where cumulative invoicing outpaces award ceilings. Twelve awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity for new or modified cooperative agreements.
DNRC performs work statewide across Montana with administrative oversight in Helena. The agency acts as a primary grant recipient and capacity builder for the state forestry agency system, leveraging federal funding to coordinate cross-boundary forest management, implement wildfire preparedness programs, and manage shared stewardship objectives with federal land management agencies under Good Neighbor Authority agreements with the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. DNRC does not pursue federal contracts under set-asides or full-and-open competitions; its federal footprint is exclusively grant-based and flows through established state agency relationships with USDA, FEMA, EPA, Interior, and other federal grantor agencies.
