The Trillium Fund of The Oregon Community Foundation is pleased to announce its 2012 grants cycle. Please see the linked instructions and application form.
The Fund makes grants primarily in Newberg for youth volunteerism and development projects. Its purpose is:
- to support activities that promote positive youth development, enrich the lives of young people, and help children become productive, compassionate, and healthy citizens; and
- to support practical projects that will give people the encouragement, skills, and support they need to be capable volunteers and will actively involve volunteers in improving the community.
The Trillium Fund gives priority to innovative projects in Newberg and within a 15-mile radius of Newberg. Examples of projects likely to be funded include those which:
- actively engage youth in volunteerism and foster a connection to their community;
- encourage youth to become actively involved in their community; and
- promote a healthy, responsive citizenship.
Proposals should be emailed or postmarked no later than Thursday, March 1, 2012. Please direct questions to Tara Siegman at TrilliumFund@oregoncf.org.
