Grant Opportunities

Destination Ready Grant Program - The deadline for applications is Feb. 3 at 12 p.m. PST.  Here's a link to additional information: https://industry.traveloregon.com/opportunities/programs-initiatives/destination-ready-program/

Travel Oregon's Destination Ready program aims to partner with Oregon's tourism destinations-geographic areas consisting of a set of resources and attractions that are visited by tourists-to bolster key tourism products and experiences that will aid in destination recovery and resiliency. Project awards can range from $10,000 - $50,000 in combined cash and consulting time per project category; all projects are expected to be "shovel-ready" and completed within six months of the execution of a financial agreement. This $250,000 direct investment program is part of a larger suite of investments Travel Oregon will be deploying in 2021. Interested organizations must be prepared to engage in this short-term project commitment through their leadership, participation and implementation. Applications must demonstrate the capacity to manage the funds and ensure successful project execution by the applicant, partner organization or entity.

Diamonds in the Rough & Preserving Oregon Grants now Open
The State Historic Preservation Office is offering grants for work on historic properties and for archaeology projects. The annual grants<http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/FINASST/Pages/grants.aspx> fund up to $20,000 in matching funds for preservation projects. Both grant programs support the goals of the Oregon Historic Preservation Plan.<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/2018preservationplan.pdf>

The Preserving Oregon Grants<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/Grants.aspx#ten> fund preservation of historic properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Work may include non-maintenance preservation like window repair, roof work, foundation projects, plumbing, and electrical needs. Recently funded projects include preservation of the following historic properties.

  *   Odd Fellows Building in Astoria
  *   Butte Creek Mill in Eagle Point
  *   Grand Ronde Depot Building
  *   Fort Stevens Guard House
  *   Carnegie Library in Gresham
  *   SP&S Locomotive in Portland
  *   Brunk House in Polk County
  *   Watts House in Scappoose
  *   Triangle Lake Round Barn in Lane County
  *   Long Branch Building in Weston

Preserving Oregon Grants<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/Grants.aspx#ten> can also fund archaeology projects for significant work contributing toward identifying, preserving and/or interpreting archaeological sites. Past projects include the analysis of the Britt Gardens archaeological investigations by Southern Oregon University and study of sites in Lincoln County.

The Diamonds in the Rough Grants<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/Grants.aspx#five> help restore or reconstruct the facades of buildings that have been heavily altered over the years. These grants return buildings to their historic appearance and potentially qualify them for historic register designation (local or national). Recent façade projects have taken place in Astoria, Harrisburg, Lebanon, Klamath Falls, Portland, and Sheridan.

The online grant application is simple to use and includes plenty of support.  A free, online grant workshop specific to these grant programs and how to use the online grant application will be offered. Visit the Oregon Heritage grants webpage<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Pages/Grants.aspx> to register.

  *   March 3, 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. for Diamonds in the Rough building façade projects.
  *   March 5, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. for Preserving Oregon Grants archaeology projects.
  *   March 5, 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. for Preserving Oregon Grants historic property projects.

Webinars
NAO webinar Feb. 3 on employers and vaccine requirements
What Nonprofit Employers Need To Know About COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements, Wednesday, February 3, 10 - 11 a.m. PT
As vaccines for COVID-19 are being rolled out, everyone seems to be asking the same question: can employers require their employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of employment? Given a myriad of unknowns and competing considerations at play, the better question may be should they do so? Join Amy Robinson, Partner and Ivan Resendiz-Guiterrez, Appellate and Litigation Attorney at Miller Nash Graham & Dunn as they lead this a practical discussion on this issue.
