For the last two years, Willamette Partnership has been facilitating the La Pine Basin All-Lands Partnership, dedicated to reducing wildfire risk in southern Deschutes and northern Klamath counties. This summer, we were notified that the federal government would not be fulfilling its last two years for our award, meaning our funding will run out by the end of 2026. We are requesting funds for six months of facilitation while we wait to learn if the group was awarded a BLM grant that would cover our next five years' worth of facilitation.

Tayas Yawks, a culturally responsive community-based organization serving Native American, rural, low-income, justice-impacted, and other historically underserved residents, is prepared to help meet these needs, but additional emergency funding is necessary to expand our response safely and effectively.
