Definition
A Focused Investment Partnership is an OWEB investment that:
Implementation Grants
Implementation funding supports partnerships with up to $12 million over 3 biennia (6 years). Initiatives must demonstrate clear and measurable restoration outputs and ecological outcomes that support limiting factors outlined in a federal recovery and/or state conservation plan(s).
Strategic Action Plan
Partnerships applying for FIP Implementation funding must have a strategic action plan (SAP) that addresses all components detailed in OWEB's Strategic Action Plan Guidance. A SAP defines the geographic extent, timeframe, and range of strategies and actions that will lead to the long-term goals of a partnership. The scope of an Implementation conservation initiative is determined by the partnership and constitutes the portion of the SAP that the partnership believes it can accomplish in the proposed timeframe with the proposed funding.

PGE Foundation
The PGE Foundation, an independent philanthropic organization, aligns its grantmaking with Portland General Electric’s commitment to the communities it serves.
Founded in 1997, the Foundation was created through an endowment with the purpose of improving the quality of life for all Oregonians.
Since our inception, more than $33 million in investments has helped community-based organizations expand access to education, creative expression, and career pathways that strengthen long-term economic prosperity.
Climate Resilient Communities Fund
The PGE Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of its new Climate Resilient Communities Fund. Opening in March 2026, the Climate Resilient Communities Fund will help strengthen community preparedness, protect vulnerable populations, and support long-term environmental and economic vitality across Oregon. This new investment builds on extensive engagement with community partners and reflects the growing urgency of climate-related risks facing Oregon communities today, particularly those historically under-resourced.
Record-breaking wildfires, extreme heat, and other climate-related disasters are challenging our communities like never before—especially those in historically underinvested areas. We support locally driven, community-based programs that address some of the most pressing climate challenges facing Oregonians. We believe solutions rooted in local leadership are best informed by the needs and lived experiences of the communities most affected.
We prioritize organizations and programs that demonstrate elements of the following:

Klamath Water Quality Improvements Grant Program
Interim Measure 11 from the Amended Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (KHSA), includes funding to address water quality improvements in the Klamath River via restoration and conservation actions in the Klamath Basin in Oregon. The emphasis of Interim Measure 11 (IM11) is nutrient reduction projects. PacifiCorp, in consultation with the Interim Measures Implementation Committee, developed a list of project categories to be implemented to fulfill the objective of IM11. PacifiCorp has provided funding of up to $6,433,500 for design/engineering and implementation of projects. This funding is administered through the Klamath Water Quality Improvements Grant Program.
After two grant cycles, a total of $4.9 million remains for future restoration and technical assistance projects. The next solicitation for grant applications will be in February 2026.
A Steering Committee, facilitated by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ), was established to assist OWEB with the program implementation. OWEB is the Fiscal Agent and will award IM11 funds for projects approved by the Steering Committee until the funds are exhausted.
The Steering Committee is comprised of members from the following organizations: Oregon Water Resources Department, ODEQ, Oregon Department of Agriculture, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Bureau of Reclamation, Yurok Tribe, Karuk Tribe, Klamath Tribes, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board and Aquatic Ecosciences.

Fertilizer Research Program Request for Proposal
The Oregon Department of Agriculture (Department) and the Fertilizer Research Committee are soliciting grant applications for the distribution of research funds collected by the Department’s Fertilizer Program.
Funding for fertilizer research is administered by the Department to provide grants addressing the interaction of fertilizers, agricultural amendments, agricultural minerals, or lime products with ground or surface water (ORS 633.465 (3)). Funding for this specific purpose is derived from an inspection fee based on tons of fertilizer, agricultural mineral, agricultural amendment and lime products distributed into Oregon. Grant awards are made annually subject to the availability of fertilizer research funds.
Research Focus
Projects funded by this Request for Proposals must further the understanding of the interaction of fertilizers, agricultural amendments, agricultural minerals, or lime products with the protection of ground or surface water quality in Oregon. Project outcome must be transferable to industry advisors, consultants, and the end users of fertilizer, agricultural amendment, agricultural mineral, or lime products.
