The Greater Oregon Chapter community grants program is designed to invest in priority projects that further the March of Dimes mission, support national campaign objectives, and further our strategic goal of reducing disparities in birth outcomes.

Proposals will be accepted from organizations with the capacity, competence and experience to accomplish project goals and objectives.  Priority will be given to projects that meet one or more of the following criteria:

Projects may focus on consumers and/or health care providers.  The March of Dimes does not fund billable health care provider services.

In order to be eligible to receive a March of Dimes chapter grant, an organization must be an incorporated not-for-profit 501(c)(3) or for profit organization or government agency.  March of Dimes does not award grants to individuals. Applicants must disclose any conflict of interest due to representation by their organization on the chapter’s Program Services Committee or Board of Directors.

The applicant must provide services in Oregon or SW Washington (Clark, Cowlitz, Wahkiakum or Skamania counties).

The 2010 Community Grant awards process is modified from previou years. This is now a two part process, beginning with a Letter of Intent. Letters will be reviewed by a multi-disciplinary committee and selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal.
