REGION
Wheeler Soil and Water Conservation District
Request: $25,000
Application Materials
Immediate seed purchase for nearly 1,300 miles of wildfire suppression dozer lines across Wheeler County from the Rowe Creek Complex, Shingle Fire, and multiple smaller incidents ignited July 15th and still burning as of 08/04/2026. USDA has programs for disaster recovery; however, funding for those programs will not be available for application until the next federal fiscal year (November) and actions won't be funded until spring of 2027.
Companion Animal Medical Project
Request: $5,000
Companion Animal Medical Project (CAMP) is requesting $5,000 to purchase pallets of dog and cat food for families impacted by wildfires in Sisters, Prineville, and on The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. As emergency evacuations force residents from their homes, access to basic supplies is critical.
Gilliam Soil & Water Conservation District: Seed
Request: $74,993
Application Materials
An estimated 11,000 acres of standing winter wheat burned, approximately one seventh of the county's annual crop. New seed will prevent that bare ground filling with weeds that become future fire tinder, and the seed must be planted in October. Landowners will plant with their own equipment and fuel, this request is for the seed to replant, and four broadcast spreaders that attach to a side-by-side to seed steep and rocky ground.
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.
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.
Update from the United Way of the Columbia Gorge
Rowena Recovery recently published a milestones dashboard that provides a clear, visual snapshot of progress to date and how resources have supported the community.
City of Cascade Locks
Request: $400,000
Application Materials

Village of Rowena, Inc
Request: $100,000
Application Materials

Row River Valley Water District
Request: $50,000
Application Materials
After the atmospheric river hit the valley in December 2025, the water intake was overwhelmed with debris causing the water district to lose water for 103 households.
