Details:
OICF’s GiveOrcas campaigns build community awareness of local organizations and raise funds to support the programs that make Orcas a stronger, more resilient community. The success of the campaigns is achieved through a collaborative relationship between OICF, the island organizations, and the community that unites to support these important programs. GiveOrcas is a community-wide event.
GiveOrcas grants are supplemented with OICF endowed fund distributions and the Partners in Philanthropy fund. While OICF aims to support and help fund as many projects as possible, grant success relies on community donations during the GiveOrcas campaign. They encourage participants to actively promote their projects to increase awareness and support.
Proposals will be prioritized based on the following:
- Does the proposal address a specific, demonstrated need benefiting the community?
- What is the likelihood of success for the proposal?
- Is this need/request unique and not duplicative of other services/programs?
- Does the proposal serve a significant number of islanders?
Funding Information
Grant requests are limited to a maximum of $25,000 during the Spring campaign.
