[Darci Hanning]

Greetings!

(Please pardon the cross-posting)

Just a quick reminder that the Oregon Community Foundation offers grants twice per year through their Community Grant Program:

*         Spring Cycle: Application window opens December 1. Applications due January 15 at midnight with board decision in May.

*         Fall Cycle: Application window opens June 1. Applications due July 15 at midnight with board decision in November.

Renewal applications follow the same process as new application. More information is available from their web site: https://www.oregoncf.org/grants-scholarships/grants/community-grants

The following public libraries were awarded grants for the Spring 2018 grant cycle:

City of Roseburg $ 50,500
