Tips for creating a successful application.
These tips will help you understand our process and what you can expect:
- Ensure your service area is within the OnPoint region of Oregon and SW Washington.
- Applications should be submitted to OnPoint no less than 45 days before funds are needed. However, if the support request is for a specific event, applications should be submitted between 60-90 days.
- Correspondence from OnPoint will be directed to the person listed on the application at the email and mailing address provided. This person must be an authorized representative of the organization seeking support.
- Organizations will be notified of the committee’s decision within 60 days.
- While we will consider all eligible requests, our average contribution ranges from $100 to $5,000. If we are unable to meet your entire request, we will consider a contribution in an alternate amount.
- We are able to consider one request per organization in a 12-month period.
