National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grants
The National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grants Program annually provides grants of up to $1 million to coastal and Great Lakes states, as well as U.S. territories to protect, restore and enhance coastal wetland ecosystems and associated uplands. The Program is funded by revenues collected from excise taxes on sport fishing equipment, electric motors and sonar, import duties on fishing tackle, yachts and pleasure craft, a portion of the gasoline tax attributable to motorboats and small engines, and interest on the fund, under the authority of the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act of 1950.
Eligible projects include the acquisition of real property interest in coastal lands or waters and the restoration, enhancement, or management of coastal wetlands ecosystems.
OWEB Coastal Wetlands Grants
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant Program (NCWCGP) was established to acquire, restore, and enhance wetlands in coastal states through competitive matching grants to state agencies. The primary goal of the NCWCGP is the long‐term conservation of coastal wetland ecosystems. Only legislatively approved state agencies may submit applications to the NCWCGP. Since 2013, OWEB has been an approved agency. OWEB serves as the official grantee of the federal award and makes the federal funds available to local conservation and restoration partners through sub-grants. All sub-grants are subject to the Rules and guidelines of OWEB’s grant programs.
Eligible Projects
All projects must ensure long-term conservation.
Eligible projects under the NCWCGP include:
OWEB issues a solicitation for Coastal Wetlands Restoration Grant applications in the spring of each year.

Oregon Health Authority
The Oregon Health Authority is at the forefront of lowering and containing costs, improving quality and increasing access to health care in order to improve the lifelong health of people in Oregon.
Mission: Ensuring all people and communities can achieve optimum physical, mental, and social well-being through partnerships, prevention, and access to quality, affordable health care. OHA will transform the health care system in Oregon by: improving the lifelong health of people in Oregon, increasing the quality, reliability, and availability of care for all people in Oregon and lowering or containing the cost of care so it's affordable to everyone.
Regional Source Water Collaborative Project Grant
The Drinking Water Source Protection Fund (DWSPF) is designed for the protection of drinking water sources. Drinking water sources include watersheds above a public water supply surface water intake and/or the delineated portion of the aquifer supplying water to public water supply wells or springs.
Regional Source Water Collaborative Project grants are being piloted by the agencies to strengthen public water system regional ties and cooperation on source water protection and therefore improve source water resiliency across Oregon. The grants are intended to support projects that reduce risks and foster coordination among public water systems using groundwater and surface water sources. Each grant must dedicate funds to projects within source areas serving smaller water systems (serving fewer than 3,300) that are located inside a larger water system’s (or collaborative’s) drinking water source area(s). Eligible projects must involve at least three smaller water system partners and provide protection benefits to multiple water systems involved in the project. The expectation is that roughly half of the project expenses will be directed at the smaller water systems’ drinking water source areas that are Official Partners to the project. This initiative aims to foster regional coordination and improve source water protection for underserved communities.

Out of School Time
Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) has identified out-of-school time as an opportunity to combat socioeconomic, geographic, and racial inequities in student success. Research has shown that quality out-of-school time programs that have a robust SEL focus can support positive youth development and increase engagement with school, thus improving attendance, boosting academic performance, and increasing the likelihood of high school graduation and post-secondary attainment.
OCF seeks proposals from out-of-school time programs in Oregon that wish to participate in a three-year, highly structured SEL program quality improvement Learning Community. Interested organizations should already be familiar with continuous program quality processes and wish to deepen their SEL program quality. Programs must serve youth from low-income families, youth of color and/or youth from under-resourced rural communities.
