Background

The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Urban & Community Forestry (UCF) awarded $26.6 million in 2023/2024 to stand up two subaward programs offering $10 million explicitly devoted to the nine Federally Recognized Tribes of Oregon, and $12.5 million available to all eligible entities in the State of Oregon. Both funding opportunities aim to promote investments in community and urban forestry across the state. This initiative strives to support Tribal, rural, and urban communities by providing benefits beyond individual project or program investments.

These Federal Financial Assistance grant awards 24-DG-11062765-084 and 23-DG-11062765-093 are administered by ODF. As the pass-through entity, ODF will be managing all subawards for the duration of this funding opportunity. Assistance with proposal development, technical consultation, and application writing is available upon request as part of the subaward programs.
