2026 Fall Community Grants Cycle

Community Grants provides funding for organizations addressing the most pressing needs in communities throughout Oregon. For the 2026 Fall Community Grants Cycle, we are funding new or expanding programs and projects, capacity building, and small capital (under $500k). For more information, please check out our Program Guidelines below.

Thank you for all of your work and the impact you are making across our great state.
