Pretty much every nonprofit we talk to on the JX talks about the importance of cash grants to keeping the organization afloat. We get a sense of the grant landscape in examining this year's spring flock of grants from the Oregon Community Foundation.
OCF is scattering nearly $5.3 Million, with grants landing in every one of the state's counties. Not quite $400,000 will end up in Southern Oregon, including a grant to Healthy U in Cave Junction.
We hear more about the grant awards and their uses from Kurt Hildebrand, OCF Regional Director for Southern Oregon, and from Sarah Kitting, Executive Director of Healthy U.
