OCF Community Grants Program

About this program

Oregon Community Foundation’s 2026 Fall Community Grants cycle funds Oregon-based nonprofits for new or expanding programs, capacity building, and small capital projects under $500,000, with awards announced and distributed in late October. The application window opens May 26 and closes June 23, 2026 at 5 p.m., and an informational session is scheduled for May 18; applicants should review the Program Guidelines for funding priorities and instructions. Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations addressing community needs across Oregon; organizations that received a Community Grant in the 2025 Fall or 2026 Spring cycles are ineligible for this cycle due to a two-cycle sit-out requirement. Nonprofits new to OCF must create a MyOCF account—complete setup by June 18 to ensure ability to submit.
