Oregon Grants
Last updated June 17, 2026
There are currently 21 active grants available to Oregon applicants in Grantable's free grants database, drawn from state sources and updated daily.
Oregon supports communities through agencies including the Oregon Arts Commission (housed within Business Oregon, the state's economic development agency), Oregon Housing and Community Services, and the Oregon Department of Education. Because state-level arts and culture funding is comparatively modest, private philanthropy plays an outsized role, led by the Oregon Community Foundation and The Ford Family Foundation. These funders collectively back education, housing, economic opportunity, and the arts statewide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What state grants are available in Oregon?
Major Oregon funders include the Oregon Arts Commission, which sits within Business Oregon, the state's economic and community development agency. Oregon Housing and Community Services administers affordable-housing and community programs, and the Oregon Department of Education funds K-12 and related initiatives. Each agency publishes its own grant guidelines and timelines.
What foundations serve Oregon?
The Oregon Community Foundation is the state's largest community funder, awarding grants for education, health, housing, economic opportunity, and arts and culture. The Ford Family Foundation focuses on rural Oregon communities, and both have partnered with state agencies on arts and community initiatives, making private philanthropy a significant complement to public funding.
Are there grants for rural Oregon communities?
Yes. Rural Oregon communities are a stated priority for The Ford Family Foundation and feature prominently in the Oregon Community Foundation's regional grantmaking. State agencies such as Oregon Housing and Community Services and Business Oregon also run programs aimed at smaller and rural areas, so applicants should look at both public and private sources.
