OREMC Foundation Community Development Grants
Who can apply: Organizations and agencies must provide services to residents in OREMC's eight-county service area. Applicants must submit a completed application requesting a specific dollar amount and identifying the specific need, along with a project brief, IRS 501(c)(3) letter, board list, current-year budget and cash-flow or financial statements, three business references, and other required materials. Organizations may apply only once within a 12-month period and may reapply 12 months after all prior grant funds have been disbursed. Individuals, for-profit organizations, lobbying groups and political campaigns are ineligible. Churches and religious organizations are generally ineligible, but church-affiliated programs may be considered when they have direct community impact in an eligible funding area. Public and private schools and preschools may not apply directly, although foundations and other organizations may apply for projects benefiting them.
Deadline: Next stated application deadline: October 2, 2026. The Foundation Board reviews applications quarterly.
