REGION
DISASTER
Happy Trails Horse Rescue
Request: $23,625
Happy Trails Horse Rescue & Sanctuary is located in a wildfire-prone area of Central Oregon, where wildfire poses a significant risk to our horses, facilities, and surrounding community. Grant funding would allow us to create and improve defensible space by removing hazardous vegetation and reducing combustible materials around our property. These improvements are essential to protecting vulnerable rescue horses, safeguarding our facilities, and improving emergency preparedness. As a nonprofit, our resources are primarily dedicated to horse care, rehabilitation, and helping local owners keep their horses during financial hardship. Grant assistance would allow us to address critical wildfire risks while preserving our ability to provide sanctuary for horses in need and temporary refuge for horses displaced by wildfires.

Request: $3,030,000
Application Materials
Jefferson SWCD is requesting funding for
- Continued facilitation of the Croplands Working Group, which is working on upgrading irrigation efficiency, identifying alternate cash crops, encouraging cover cropping, and reducing weeds on fallow fields
- Implementing projects recommended by the Working Group
- Inventorying irrigation infrastructure upgrade needs in the portion of NUID around Culver
- Facilitating the NorthCentral Wildfire Resiliency Group until we can get specific funding for a long-term plan

A Greater Applegate
Request: $50,000
Application Materials
A Greater Applegate is seeking funding to secure .65 FTE of staff time and some flexible funds to be used for travel and engagement events to continue the Applegate Wildfire Resilience Initiative and build out a larger network of support that connects hubs and neighborhoods across Williams, Applegate, Ruch, Murphy, and Wilderville (the five recognized but unincorporated communities of the Applegate Valley).
Marion County Soil & Water Conservation District
Request: $25,000
Funds will be used for post fire recovery efforts in case of wildfire in our area. Our greatest resilience need is to assist rural landowners or residents within WUI who may be affected by wildfires during this season to restore and recover natural resources. These areas are more vulnerable to wildfire impacts and have less access to resources to assist them.
Oregon Livestock Council
Request: $60,000
Application Materials
Oregon Livestock Council is fundraising for an evacuation and sheltering equipment Points of Distribution (POD) for each side of the mountains–Eastern Oregon and Western Oregon. Each POD costs about $200,000. This request would provide for the 24' enclosed Shelter/Command trailer for the Western Oregon POD, and (156) 12' corral panels to complete the 45' Corral Panel trailer setup for the Eastern Oregon POD.
