Summary
This grant opportunity is intended to support community-driven efforts that improve health and quality of life in rural regions in Oregon. The program focuses on strengthening population health by helping local organizations explore new ideas, pilot innovative approaches, and build sustainable solutions that address the unique challenges faced by rural communities.
Funding awards are typically offered in amounts of up to $10,000 per project. These funds are flexible and may be used to support planning activities, program development, community engagement, data collection, partnership building, or early implementation of initiatives aimed at improving health outcomes. The overall intent of the funding is to encourage practical, locally informed solutions that respond to identified community needs rather than large-scale infrastructure or capital projects.
Eligible applicants generally include nonprofit organizations, community-based groups, public health agencies, clinics, rural hospitals, and other mission-driven entities serving rural populations. Small businesses and individuals are not the primary focus unless they are part of a broader collaborative effort led by an eligible organization. Projects are expected to benefit rural residents and align with shared goals around health equity, prevention, and access to services.
In addition to financial support, the grant offers added benefits such as participation in a learning cohort, opportunities for peer exchange, and guidance from experienced advisors. This supportive structure is designed to help grantees refine their ideas, strengthen partnerships, and increase the long-term impact of their work.
The grant opportunity is available only to organizations working in designated rural areas within the state. Priority is often given to projects that address gaps in services, promote collaboration across sectors, and demonstrate potential for lasting community impact. Overall, this funding aims to nurture early-stage efforts that can grow into meaningful, sustainable improvements in rural population health.
