Rapid Response Grant
This funding opportunity provides up to $1,500 for urgent needs to government, Tribal, and non-profit organizations within specific counties in Oregon and Washington, excluding event sponsorships and operational budget support.
Description
The Rapid Response Grant is designed for small, urgent needs that arise throughout the year, offering up to $1,500 per award. This grant, provided by the Wildhorse Foundation, adheres to the same standards and guidelines as full grants but is distinct in that it does not support event sponsorships or operational budget supplements. It is particularly aimed at entities within the Umatilla Indian Reservation homeland, including Morrow, Umatilla, Union, and Wallowa counties in Oregon, and the Tribes Ceded Territory in Washington (Benton, Columbia, and Walla Walla Counties). Eligibility extends to government, Tribal, and non-profit organizations within these areas. Applicants must demonstrate that their project does not aim to supplement any existing or pending Wildhorse Foundation grants. The grant is awarded only once within a 12-month period, ensuring targeted support for immediate needs.
