Funding Guidelines

The Oregon Track Club (OTC) Grass Roots Grant gives consideration to requests from the greater Eugene/Springfield area, defined as a radius of 25 miles from the University of Oregon campus. Preference is given to non-profit organizations over for-profit organizations.

Proposal Review and Grant Decisions

Proposals may be submitted at any time, but must be received by October 31st to be considered for the current calendar year.

Proposals are reviewed and decisions made during the month of November. If approved, the money will be allocated by the beginning of January in the new year. If a proposal has been declined it should not be resubmitted unless the Board requests a re-submittal with changes from the original declined proposal. 

The Board discourages annual fund appeals, even if the applying organization was recently successful in obtaining funding from the Grass Roots Grant fund. Site visits could potentially be initiated and conducted by  the Board.
