Request a Grant Writer

Grants to Oregon nonprofit organizations for programs that benefit local residents in counties where the funding source has a business presence. Funding is intended to support projects and activities within the focus areas of education, arts, and family. The goal of the grant is to help young people develop essential life skills, integrate arts into education, and help families create stable environments. Priority is given to groups located in counties where PGE has customers and power-generating plants.

If you're interested in submitting a proposal for an education program, consider:

Hands-on applied learning experience, specifically initiatives that connect students to the world of work
Curriculum that engages students with goals and aspirations, provides opportunities for adult mentorship and measures age-appropriate development of essential skills (e.g., socio-emotional skills)
Collective impact models that support system-wide transformation

If you're interested in submitting a proposal for a creative expression program, consider:

Curriculum that offers access to sequential arts learning
Programs that promote youth development using creative expression to foster social emotional skills crucial to becoming active contributors to our community
Arts and cultural programs integrated into classroom curriculum that promotes innovation and creativity, while also enhancing literacy and math aptitude

If you're interested in submitting a proposal for a family-oriented program, consider:

Preventive approaches that help families create stable environments where children can grow and thrive, with emphasis on addressing food insecurity, housing/homelessness, mental wellness and parent engagement
Programs that help parents, grandparents and guardians caring for children (up to age 26) develop stable family relationships, economic security and a safe and consistent home environment
