Funding will support staff time, facilitation, and outreach to coordinate Grasshopper Fire recovery. The fire affected Badger Improvement District, Rock Creek District Improvement Company, portions of The Dalles Watershed, and high-use recreation sites and trails. SWCD and WCFC will convene agencies, irrigation providers, landowners, and recreation partners to identify priorities, clarify responsibilities, and connect needs with technical assistance and funding. Meetings, field tours, and expert presentations will address erosion, debris flow hazards, water supplies, and hazard tree removal along roads, campgrounds, and public access routes. Partners will develop a shared recovery work plan and funding proposals to protect infrastructure, restore safe access, support reforestation, and strengthen preparedness for future fire seasons.

Future Prairie, an Oregon 501(c)(3) queer arts nonprofit, is in direct contact with 12 LGBTQIA+ working-class Oregon artists displaced by the current Central/Eastern Oregon wildfires (Gilliam, Wheeler, Wasco, Crook, and Jefferson counties) who need to relocate permanently. They are currently being temporarily sheltered in Portland by Femme Rising, a trans-led dance and jiu-jitsu studio. Funds requested would cover near-term relocation costs—housing deposits, moving/transportation costs, and first month's rent—to help these artists secure permanent housing.

We would like to repair our wildfire water protection system and develop a reliable water source for wildfire fighting. We have some of the infrastructure but it needs repair and updating: a storage tank and pump system supplies a single hydrant on the property at this time. That system needs to be inspected and repaired.

They are planning a large-scale hazard tree mitigation effort in partnership with Team Rubicon, with deployment scheduled for early April. This effort is a critical first step toward enabling safe rebuilding, as many properties remain inaccessible or unsafe due to fire-damaged trees.
