Thank you for your interest in the Central Oregon Health Council’s funding opportunities. Please read all eligibility requirements before proceeding to the pre-grant application checklist and online application. Our open funding cycle for 2020-2024 is focused specifically on six topic areas (listed below under Eligibility) with specific metrics under each; any proposal that does not specifically address one of these areas’ metrics will not be considered.
No. In our previous funding cycle, our largest grant was over $400,000 and our smallest was just under $5,000.
We require annual reports for each year of the project, and a final report after the last year of the project has ended.
Our maximum is 4 years (48 months). There is no minimum length.
