1.   COMMUNITY GRANT APPLICATIONS NOW AVAILABLE

Applications for the Oregon Community Foundation's community grants may now be submitted through its online application system. The application deadline is Jan. 15.

The community grants program<http://www.oregoncf.org/grants-scholarships/grants/community-grants> is a broadly accessible, responsive statewide grants program. Its long-term goals are to strengthen the social fabric of our communities and improve life in Oregon. More immediate goals are to respond to evolving, community-identified needs and to build civic leadership and engagement.

2.     Rural Webinar Series (free)

Starting January 13, 2016, the Rural Business Program at the University of Texas at San Antonio - Institute for Economic Development is teaming up with the University of Nebraska, Sam Houston State University and the University of Minnesota to bring you a quality rural webinar series.

This no-cost webinar series will focus on positive trends impacting the Great Plains states from Minnesota to Texas and places in-between. This monthly series is offered to local elected officials, economic development specialists, housing agencies, and others engaged in rural development practices. These webinars are educational in focus and will lead up to the Minnesota Symposium on Small Towns June 8-9, 2016 and the Texas Rural Challenge on June 9-10, 2016.
