October 26, 2022



At the October meeting of the Signal Peak Community Foundation the board members listened to the grant applicants present their grants.

The foundation board awarded grants to the City of Roundup in the amount of $61,475.00. This will be for 19 light fixtures and poles around the city park to improve the safety and usage of the park at night. Of this amount $14,723.00 will go to the Veterans park at the end of main street for service branches poles and flags. The poles will have lights.

The Pine Ridge Golf Course was awarded $10,000. a aa payment on their fairway mower.

The Roundup Arts and Culture Committee was awarded $9,300. for artist labor for hand painting the 750 sq. ft. of mural on the old Hoiland Ford building at the flashing light corner. This mural will embody the spirit of Roundup, through this depiction of a cowboy’s and cattle stampede. The mural will serve as a “Welcome to Roundup” visual greeting as the drivers turn the corner onto Main Street. The mural will partner with the new kiosk and visitor center located in the same area.

Earth Sciences Foundation, Inc. was awarded $13,500. for new display cases of various sizes to be placed at the Musselshell County Museum. A baby T-Rex Skeleton from Triassica will be purchased and placed in the Museum. Earth Sciences has had about 200 kids from the Roundup area helping this summer with the digs.

Roundup Independence Days Extravaganza was awarded $12,643. for barricades, signage, tents, radios and other equipment. The Steering Committee of RIDE had identified problems experienced with crowd control, communications and other areas during the event. This grant will provide security, signage and other equipment to help with those problems.

The last grant was awarded to the Montana Treasured Piecemaker Quilts of Valor Group for $3,000. This will provide materials for the volunteers that sew the quilts that will be awarded to the Veterans of Musselshell County. Volunteers are happy to sew the quilts, which takes many hours of sewing, but the high cost of the materials, which is upwards to $300. now makes it hard for some of them to pay for material. A presentation of quilts will be made to some Veterans in November in Roundup.

The board has been working on revamping the scholarship program which may result in additional funding for those who receive scholarships.
