Leadership Grant Opportunity for COAD Members 

We have small grants available to enable COAD members to become more active in COAD leadership. We encourage COAD members  with capacity to apply for up to $5,000 to participate and take leadership in the COAD at least through the end of the calendar year.

One staff member's involvement from your organization is sufficient, though more participation is welcome. The application is short and we are assessing applications on a first come, first serve basis until the funds are allocated. Reporting on this grant will not be required, but we will briefly check-in on progress during the grant period (ending 12/31/2025). Thanks for your interest, and we hope you consider applying. Please submit your application via email to info@lanecountycoad.org. 

Please include:

• Name.

• Organization.

• Contact Information.

• Brief description of your organization including mission and area served.

• Brief description of your organization's role / intended role in the COAD. What strengths does your organization bring to the COAD? Can you commit to being an active COAD member? Will your organization serve in a leadership capacity?

• Amount requested.

• Brief description of how the funds will be used. 

• Is there anything else you’d like us to know as we consider your application?
