Tribe Offers COVID-Related Grants, Feb. 25

Coquille Tribe release – The Coquille Tribal Community Fund is pleased to announce that it will begin accepting applications next week for pandemic-related community grants. The application period will extend from March 1 through March 31. Grants are for organizations and agencies in Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson and Lane counties.
Please note that the process and goals of this special grant cycle differ from the tribal fund’s usual format. Changes include: • Grants will be awarded for projects and programs specifically related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Each applicant must detail how the organization has been affected by the pandemic and how the proposed grant relates to COVID-19. • Letters of inquiry, the usual first step in the tribe’s annual grant cycle, will not be part of this special cycle. Instead, an application form will be available on the community fund website starting March 1. • Organizations planning to apply should register on the fund website. If your group registered previously, please make sure all information is up-to-date. • Award decisions will be made in mid-April. • For more information, visit the tribal fund website at www.coquilletribalfund.org, or contact Community Fund Administrator Jackie Chambers at jackiechambers@coquilletribe.org or (541) 756-0904, ext. 1201. The tribe plans to launch its next regular annual grant cycle on Sept. 1, 2021, as usual.
