SMCF’s new Oregon Tribes Grant Program is a competitive process intended to help the nine federally recognized Tribes in Oregon by providing grant funds to support priorities within their Tribal communities. The nine federally recognized Tribes in Oregon are:
Each Tribe will have an annual opportunity to apply for a grant not to exceed $75,000 or 50% of the project budget. Fundable projects are those that have been designated by the Tribe, as “high priority” needs. SMCF’s project evaluation criterion is comprehensive and flexible. Suitable projects are those that fit within one or more of the following general categories:
Arts & Culture - Education - Health - Historic Preservation - Public Safety - Environmental Preservation - Problem Gaming
Spirit Mountain Community Fund's Board of Trustees and staff are eager to assist Oregon Tribes in taking advantage of this exceptional opportunity.
