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.
*** NEW ONLINE APPLICATION*** The County’s proposal format must be used to be eligible for consideration. The eligibility requirements and both online and PDF versions of the application can be found at this link or below.
*** NEW EMAIL*** Applications must be submitted via email to humanservices [at] co.clatsop.or.us no later than 5 P.M. FRIDAY, JAN. 31, 2022.
The Human Services Advisory Council grant committee will review all proposals and make funding recommendations to the Board of Commissioners for approval at one of its regularly scheduled meetings. If your proposal is recommended for consideration, you will be notified and advised of the date of the Board of Commissioners meeting. You may also contact Hannah Mather, at (503) 325-1000 Ext. 1314 to find out the date of the meeting.
