REGION
DISASTER
Oregon Climate and Agriculture Network
Request: $42,000
Application Materials
OrCAN seeks funding partners to support our producer-centered network’s advocacy for renewal of the Farmer & Rancher Disaster Resilience (FRDR) grant program during the 2027 legislative session. OrCAN will demonstrate the need for FRDR renewal by sharing producers’ stories and perspectives on agricultural disaster across a range of activities, including constituent meetings, written communication with legislators, and testimony at hearings. Weather disasters such as heat domes, drought, floods, and wildfires are becoming more frequent and extreme as climate change accelerates. Oregon’s farmers and ranchers are on the frontlines of weather disasters, and they have expressed their need for disaster relief and resilience funding related to Soil Health.
Alliance for a Safe Oregon
Request: $50,000
Following the Silver Rail shooting in Bend, we are requesting funding to:
Expand our secure storage device distribution. We currently distribute high-quality biometric lock boxes to healthcare clinics, and we will be expanding this work to school districts across Oregon, who can then provide them to parents in need.
Bring FIPE, our free one-hour, physician-led health class presentation, to more high schools. Firearms are the leading cause of death for ages 1-19, yet Oregon high schools provide virtually no firearm injury prevention instruction.
Grow our trauma-informed care and civic engagement pathways for youth who have experienced gun violence.
World Forestry Center
Request: $25,000
Application Materials
World Forestry Center seeks support for its Public Forum and Toolkit on Wildfire & Respiratory Health, which will bring approximately 120 residents, community organizations, public health practitioners, and forestry professionals together in Portland, Talent, and Redmond, Oregon, in 2027.
These facilitated, scenario-based forums will help communities understand wildfire smoke risks, identify practical ways to reduce exposure, and strengthen coordination between public health and forest management before disasters occur.
Jacksonville Fire Department
Request: $57,000
Application Materials
The Jacksonville Fire Department is seeking $57,000 to purchase a replacement command pickup truck. Our current vehicle has reached the end of its useful service life and no longer reliably meets the demands of emergency response, incident command, wildfire operations, inspections, and daily department operations.
Oregon Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster
Request: $30,715
Application Materials
ORVOAD is requesting funding to support a coordinated, statewide approach to wildfire response and recovery through the activation of a Statewide Unmet Needs Roundtable. Funding would cover one paid staff position to lead statewide coordination, a small media and communications budget, and support for a communication and coordination platform.
Climate and Wildfire Institute
Request: $25,000
Application Materials
Climate & Wildfire Institute (CWI) and Grassroots Wildland Firefighters (GWF) propose the Wildland Fire Workforce Capacity Analysis Project—a first-of-its-kind effort to assess the wildfire workforce in Oregon and provide necessary data- and expert insight-driven policy recommendations to re-envision its future.
