Who can apply
CareOregon will consider Development Investment and Adaptive Fund requests from tax exempt organizations with programs or services within Oregon. We prioritize requests from areas where we have members – Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, Columbia, Clatsop, Tillamook and Jackson Counties.
In 2018, requests from organizations for programs or services having the greatest impact on Housing (Spring 2018) and ACEs (Fall 2018) will be prioritized.
In addition to Development Investments focused on priority areas, CareOregon will focus Adaptive Fund requests on support to culturally specific organizations, organizations and programming increasing health equity, and programming addressing the social determinants of health.
How to apply
Development Investments
Development Investments in Fall 2018 will be focused on programming having the greatest impact on issues related to preventing, identifying and responding to children's trauma (ACEs). Specifically, CareOregon will prioritize support to programming designed to increase the provision of culturally specific and trauma informed services and programming especially in education, social services and healthcare.
Development Investment grants are closed for 2018.
Please check back in early 2019 for information on CareOregon’s 2019 grant priorities.
Adaptive Fund
CareOregon will accept Adaptive Fund requests on an ongoing basis. Our goal is to provide rapid support to aligned programs and organizations. CareOregon will focus Adaptive Fund requests on support to culturally specific organizations, organizations and programming increasing health equity, and programming addressing the social determinants of health. Sponsorship requests for events will also be accepted and prioritized to provide support for community facing events engaging the Medicaid and Medicare populations.
Requests to the Adaptive Fund may be made at any time during 2018. Requests will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and applicants contacted within 1 month.
Organizations are eligible to receive support through both Development Investments and the Adaptive Fund during 2018.
