Every two years, MAGIC sponsors grants to benefit member state organizations (such as North Dakota).
MAGIC grant proposals are scored by a subcommittee using well-established criteria on how the project fits into the goals and mission of MAGIC, how it will benefit the MAGIC region as a whole, how the project results will be shared with the public, and whether the information could be applicable to similar programs in other states.
Please see the MAGIC web site for forms, details, and timelines about the MAGIC grant application process:
