Summary
This grant opportunity supports nonprofit, tribal, and public-service organizations operating primarily in a defined region of northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington (the traditional homeland area of certain tribes). It is designed to help groups that work in crucial areas like education, public health and safety, environmental protection, cultural preservation, youth and family services, and community vitality.
Eligible applicants include registered nonprofits, tribal government agencies, Native-serving organizations, and other qualified public-service entities — but not private businesses or individuals. Organizations must serve communities within the foundation’s designated geographic region; national or regional Native-serving organizations may also qualify under some grant tracks.
Through this program, organizations can request funding for a wide array of needs: supporting arts and cultural activities, preserving heritage and historical sites, implementing education and youth-oriented programs, promoting environmental stewardship or salmon-restoration efforts, improving public health or safety infrastructure, or launching community-focused social services. Both new projects and ongoing programs are eligible.
Grant sizes are modest to mid-level: the maximum for a single grant in a cycle is capped, with most awards ranging from small amounts for community outreach up to several tens of thousands of dollars for larger projects. Grants are intended to provide tangible support — for example, funds might cover project materials, staffing for a community program, infrastructure upgrades, or culturally relevant programming.
Applications are accepted quarterly throughout the year, giving organizations multiple opportunities annually to seek support. Once awarded, funds are provided for a project period (typically up to one year), and grantees are expected to report back on outcomes against a submitted budget. This structure provides flexibility — whether you’re launching a new initiative or sustaining an existing program.
Overall, this grant program is ideal for nonprofits and tribal-affiliated organizations committed to enhancing community well-being, preserving culture and heritage, improving public services, or investing in long-term health, safety, and environmental outcomes in their region.
