Upcoming Grant Opportunities

$1500 FOR SMALL PROJECTS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS
The East Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District (EMS&WCD) provides grants of up to $1,500 to support conservation projects, conservation education, and community events that promote national resource conservation. Projects or events could include on-the-ground restoration or conservation projects, pollution prevention projects, or youth or community education. The short online application requires a few brief answers and requires a Fiscal Agent signature; e-mail me your completed form and I’ll get that for you. Forms should be submitted to the EMS&WCD at least 45 days before the date of the project or event.

Due date: 15th of each month

CHARLIE LOVETT FUND FOR ELEMENTARY DRAMA
The Charlie Lovett Fund for Elementary Drama is a philanthropic fund that supports production-based theater arts programs at the elementary school (grades 1-5) level. Each year they donate a portion of the royalties on his plays to the fund and the donation is matched by the Lovett Foundation.

Grants averaging $300 are made on a rolling basis beginning in August of each school year and decisions are made as quickly as possible. Grants are made until the funds for the year are exhausted.

The grant application itself is online (although to be mailed in) and not at all difficult; it should be completed by the director if possible. The crux of the application is two questions, both limited to 150-word responses: (1) why your school should receive the funding, and (2) a response from a student on what being involved in the play will mean to him or her. It asks for a tax letter; I can get that for you when you need it.

Due date: Ongoing until funds are exhausted
