The Oregon Community Grant Program awards funding to small and medium-sized nonprofits that are working to address the most pressing challenges in Oregon.

Priority will be given to projects that support clear community-identified needs for populations disproportionately impacted by inequities exacerbated by significant bias and/or discrimination, including:

• Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and people of color
• Immigrants and refugees
• People experiencing disabilities
• People living on low incomes
• People living in under-resourced communities and/or communities lacking critical infrastructure, including remote, rural, suburban, and urban communities
• People who are homeless/unsheltered
• People who identify as LGBTQIA+
• Survivors of domestic violence and/or child abuse

Funding will support one of three grant types:

• New or significant expansion to a program or project
• Capacity building
• Small capital not to exceed $500,000

Nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organizations, tribal and governmental entities in Oregon are eligible to apply.

The maximum grant amount is $40,000. The average award size is between $15,000 and $20,000.

Links to additional guidance and the application instructions are available on the program website.
