Trail Blazers Foundation Fund – LIVE Grant
The Trail Blazers are dedicated to positively impacting the lives of children and families who have been historically underserved, where they live, learn, and play. Through the LIVE Greener grant, presented by Avangrid Renewables, the Trail Blazers Foundation Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation, supports organizations throughout Oregon and SW Washington that are connecting youth with the environment for education, preservation, and employment.
One of the ways the Trail Blazers invests in our region is by providing cash grants to organizations that fit our mission. When it comes to our LIVE Greener focus area, these are organizations that are engaging youth with the environment. If your organization connects youth to the environment in a way that either helps them protect it, reduce their impact on it, and/or learn job skills related to it, the LIVE Greener grant could be a great fit for you.
Organizations with a mission or major program aligned with the LIVE Greener grant parameters are invited to apply for up to $25,000 of annual funding. After an initial year of support, organizations may be selected to receive an additional year of funding, for a total of up to $50,000 over two years.
