Long-Term Strategic Planning

Applicants should present a clear rural Oregon fit and follow the foundation's published guidelines and online contact form or open grants email/phone. Proposals should match stated priorities (education/early childhood, community building, capacity or modest capital/operating needs), be sized to the foundation's prevalent award levels, and highlight local impact. Relationship-building with program staff can help but unsolicited applications are a legitimate entry path given the public process and high new-recipient rate.
