District Capacity Grants

The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) provides biennial capacity grants to Oregon's 45 soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs) to assist landowners in conserving Oregon's natural resources and lend support to the Oregon Department of Agriculture's (ODA) Agricultural Water Quality Management Program. Although this is an OWEB Grant ODA's SWCD program administers the grant. For questions, contact Sandi Hiatt by email or by calling 971.301.3605. More information can be found on the OWEB Capacity Grant website.

Grant applications are processed through OWEB's Oregon Grant Management System (OGMS). The 2025-2027 SWCD Capacity Grant application can be submitted beginning April 1, 2025, until 5 p.m. May 29, 2025.

Quarterly Funds Request with Expense Tracing sheets will be submitted through OWEB’s OGMS. The Scope of Work (SOW), Focused Area Action Plan (FAAP), and Monitoring reports will be submitted every six months through ODA’s reporting Hub.
