Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support nonprofit organizations, tribal entities, and public agencies. Its mission is to strengthen local capacity to care for children, families, and the broader community by providing flexible funding for programs that create lasting regional impact.
Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) organizations, tribal governments or nonprofits, and public service entities that operate in rural areas—typically defined as populations under 35,000 and located outside major metropolitan zones. Funding is not available to individuals, for profit businesses, or for activities related to political campaigning, debt repayment, or religious proselytizing.
Applications for the community and technical assistance grants are accepted on an open, year-round basis, giving organizations the flexibility to apply when ready. After review, successful applicants receive funding to bolster their local impact—whether through new programs, enhanced services, or improved organizational operations.
Organizations can only receive funding if they are up to date on reporting from previous grants, and repeat awards for similar projects are discouraged unless there's clear justification. This ensures diverse community needs are supported while maximizing overall reach.
This opportunity is especially valuable for rural nonprofit groups aiming to expand or strengthen their work in areas like child well-being, educational support, community engagement, and operational sustainability. By offering both direct-service grants and capacity-building resources, it empowers rural organizations to grow stronger and better serve their communities.
Organizations and individuals based in Oregon who are engaged in Community Development & Services may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
