About

The Community Resilience and Trauma Informed Care Impact Fund (Impact Fund) was established in 2023 by a one-time investment from Columbia Pacific CCO to help the Resilient Clatsop County (RCC) and Columbia County Childhood Trauma Informed Network (CTIN) reduce childhood trauma and bolster resilience in children and their families in Clatsop and Columbia County.  The fund is administered by the Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) and supports projects from the RCC and CTIN strategic plans.

Goals:

  • To provide grants to RCC and CTIN member organizations that support reducing childhood trauma and increasing resilience in children and their families.
  • To empower the RCC and CTIN by giving them the power to decide which projects from their strategic plans are funded.
  • To fund projects from the RCC and CTIN strategic plans by providing grants to RCC/CTIN member organizations.
  • To bring local efforts into alignment by supporting projects that are congruent with the RCC and CTIN strategies, shared measures and agenda.
