The Research Office is requesting Letters of Intent for The Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) – Community Grants program. The Community Grant program is seeking proposals that engage communities in addressing local issues. Preference is given to proposals that: demonstrate a close fit with OCF funding priorities, represent prevention or early intervention efforts, and reflect significant community engagement, both in terms of volunteers and financial support.
Research Office Letter of Intent submission deadline: Thursday, May 24, 2012
Information: Debbie Delmore at debbie.delmore@oregonstate.edu or (541) 737-8390
The program limits to one the number of proposals that may be submitted by Oregon State University. In an effort to provide the highest level of excellence and viability for funding, a review process will be put in place if more proposals are submitted. The finalist will be asked to represent Oregon State University and to submit their proposal to the OCF – Community Grants program by the August 1, 2012 deadline.
