On behalf of the Clatsop County Board of Commissioners, the Clatsop County Human Services Advisory Council will distribute grants to local social and human services agencies that assist people in need. The purpose of this funding is to provide an investment in community programs that target those population groups that are most in need socially and economically.
This year there is $30,000 total available in funding. Grant requests no greater than $5,000 will be eligible for funding; preference is given to programs that:
- Provide services that are available to all county residents, as opposed to residents of a specific geographic area;
- Serve the largest number of county residents;
- Work collaboratively with other groups and receive significant portions of their funding from sources other than the county;
- Address a need not now being addressed by other groups or agencies; and
- Have missions that are consistent with the Board’s priorities as identified in Clatsop Vision 2030 Together.
The County’s proposal format must be used to be eligible for consideration. The County’s grant distribution packet and Clatsop Vision 2030 Together document are available online at www.co.clatsop.or.us.
