The FundBook OR State Edition

April 2011

Helping communities find the federal funding they need.

The View from Oregon State

I

n getting ready to launch the Oregon section for Fundbook, I looked on my computer. Virtually all information is available online today, so I started thinking about primary sources of information for writing about grants for local governments and nonprofits in Oregon. I’ll be reading these and picking out items of interest, doing some analysis and talking to people behind the scenes to gather information for this column. Then I thought, why not provide the information to you, the reader directly? You may have particular interests and needs that you want to move on quickly or read about in more depth. Some of these will seem obvious, others may be new. I’ve included sources of current information as well as a few basic grants sites. These are mostly sites that I had bookmarked on my web browser. If you know of other good Oregon grant information sources, please e-mail them to me at: Michael@ grantsnorthwest.com.

Oregon Government: Oregon Legislature Bills & Laws : What’s happening

in the Legislature. You can search by topic or bill number, see today’s legislative calendar, check legislative history or see staff writeups. It’s organized by bill number, so it takes a little work. http://www.leg.state.or.us/bills_laws/

is replacing the Federal Register as a source of current RFP application. Virtually all federal grant applications have to be submitted electronically today. The online application process has been upgraded from horrid to OK, and is steadily improving. If you’re not registered and think you might want to get federal grants, register NOW. It can take days and doeswn’t cost or commit you to anything.

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance : The CFDA is the listing of all federal grant programs, whether currently funded or not. This is where you get background info, names of contacts, name & number of underlying legislation. https://www.cfda.gov/

Census Bureau: The definitive source state and local

data. You can get quick information from American FactFinder or dig deep into the datasets (you may need a good geek to help interpret.) Or you can contact the Population Research Center at Portland State for help (it may cost). http://www.census.gov/ http://www.pdx.edu/prc/

Research and Publications: Oregon Program Evaluators Network : If you’re writing a federal grant that requires evaluation (for example “at least 15% of the budget must be spent on evaluation”), you want to involve your evaluator as early as possible. OPEN is a membership organization of professional evaluators. Look at their Member Directory and search by city or areas of interest. If you don’t find one nearby (they tend to be in larger cities), try the closest University. http://www.oregoneval.org/

The Lund Report: This private online publication covers healthcare issues in Oregon. http://www.thelundreport.org/

BlueOregon: Information about state politics & budget with a liberal slant. http://www.blueoregon.com/

Oregon Center for Public Policy : Based in Silverton, OCPP has a liberal bias but does solid research you can use in grant needs statements. http://www.ocpp.org/ § This article was contributed by Michael Wells of Grants Northwest. Grants Northwest is very knowledgable of the grants and funding territory in OR and works with local governments and nonprofits on grants-related services there.

The FundBook

Actionable funding information, visible results.

The purpose of The FundBook is to empower America’s local governments by increasing their awareness of, and ability to pursue, federal financial assistance for local projects. This is via a monthly publication which describes federal programs that are currently available, how to best pursue available funds, and trends in federal funding for projects relevant to local governments. Our product is designed to be the most user-friendly federal funding awareness resource for all sizes of local government.

• In-depth articles with analyses and recommendations of how to pursue federal funding for different capital improvement projects. • A single local government’s subscription can be sent monthly to as many full-time staff as requested.

• Dual focus on both grants and appropriations for expanded options and security. ur e yo t hanc ee to e n e h ic le fl g in v nd s e n t’ in g fu F in d g ove r n m l lo c a Dem nom g elop Proje men ct G t rant Proc ess

FY10 this program consisted of $15.5 million split among 20 awards and will almost certainly be available again in the coming year. The application period closed September 8 this year, so there is some time to plan a competitive grant before the new application cycle begins. The EDA’s Global Climate Change Mitigation Fund (GCCMF) was established to strengthen the linkages between economic development and environmental quality. One of the project types supported through this program is new construction or renovation that leads to a “green buildingâ€? with an LEED™ or comparable certification. Projects that are chosen must lead to a net positive outcome in terms of energy, materials, and/or water use efficiency. In FY10 this program consisted of $25 million and will almost certainly be

available again in the coming year. The application period is rolling, so there is as much time as necessary to plan a competitive grant before applying. (See p.11 Demystifying the EDA Grant Process Additionally, one of the most promising resources for local governments looking for this kind of federal funding is through their state’s State Energy Program (SEP). However, SEPs vary as the Department of Energy emphasizes the state’s role as decision maker and administrator for SEP activities within each state. Priorities, and the amount available for this project type, are set by the state. To find out if funding is available in

your state, contact your area State Energy Office.

Other funding mechanisms There are also other funding types available for local government energy efficiency in buildings projects, though most are available at the state, not federal, level. An excellent resource that lists state programs relevant to this project type is the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency, which can be accessed at goo.gl/h4b6 One federally available option is Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds (QECBs) which can assist financing qualified energy conservation projects – a term that includes energy efficiency capital expenditures for public buildings. QECB funding is available on a state-by-state basis, based on whether the federally issued funds have already been committed. Interested officials should contact their State Energy Office for additional information about availability. >
