Grant Application Guidelines
- Deadlines:
- The Foundation Board meets quarterly. The deadline for grant applications is set about six weeks before each meeting.
Call the office, (541) 772-5732, for deadline dates.
-
- Eligibility Considerations and Requirements:
-
Grant applications will be accepted only from tax exempt agencies. No grants to individuals will be made. Only one grant per year to any agency is usually considered. The Foundation makes grants only within Jackson and Josephine Counties with the exception of a few statewide public interest issues directly affecting persons living in these counties. The Foundation rarely makes multi-year grants, grants for historical applications, hospital construction or equipment, group or individual trips, or activities for religious purposes.
