The Montana Contractors Association (MCA) is the premier association for general and specialty contractors, as well as associate members, throughout Montana. Our members work across sectors, including heavy civil work and bridge building, the production and distribution of concrete and asphalt, commercial building, plumbing, heating, HVAC, and equipment dealers. MCA members value professionalism, generosity, collaboration, and leadership.
The MCA Education Foundation is the educational entity of the MCA. We aim to promote and support careers in the construction industry and foster the growth of a diverse, skilled workforce for Montana contractors. We do so by providing scholarships, supporting post-secondary training programs and outreach efforts, and offering educational, continuing education, and professional management programs to students and young adults interested in a career in construction.
MCA and the MCA Education Foundation created a workforce development initiative called Build Montana. The goal of Build Montana is to address the construction industry’s immediate and long-term workforce challenges. In addition to Build Montana, the MCA Education Foundation supports and participates in various other community events, including Eagle Mount “Digger Days,” Central Montana “World of Work,” Missoula Under Construction, Reacher Higher Montana Construction Days, Montana State FFA Convention, Women in Construction, and many others.
The MCA Education Foundation also provides scholarships to help our members’ families pursue postsecondary education and achieve their career goals, as well as to classrooms, schools, colleges, and universities for construction education. In 2026, MCA awarded $33,000 in scholarships to Montana schools for classroom learning, $20,000 to the student AGC Chapter at Montana Technical University, and $20,000 to the student AGC Chapter at Montana State University. We work hard to ensure students have the tools and resources they need to reach their goals, and that we have a strong presence in each Montana community.
