Hello Oregonians!
Here is a quick snapshot of our upcoming grant cycles as we look ahead to the next fiscal year. Feel free to follow us on Facebook or Instagram for reminders. News is also posted on our blog here.
For 2025, both our Fast Track application and our Standard Grant inquiry form will always be open for applicants 24/7. Organizations submitting new grant requests can work in our grants portal any time and save draft forms to continue later at their convenience.
Fast Track Arts grant requests can be submitted any time, all year. There is no application deadline and requests are reviewed 9 times each year. Typically, applicants receive a decision within 6-8 weeks of submitting their grant request.
The Fast Track program has a one-step application and is for Oregon arts organizations with annual expenses between $25,000-$499,999. This grant program provides one year or multi-year operating support (depending on recent operating expenses and past Miller grant support). Learn more here.
Our process to apply for a Standard Grant is two steps; our Inquiry Form (LOI) can be submitted any time, all year. These forms will be reviewed three times each year for Arts and Education organizations during the grant cycle dates below.
Miller Foundation's Standard Grants provide multi-year operating support (up to 3 years depending on history of past Miller support) with quick and flexible reporting requirements annually. Learn more here.
