Hello Oregonians!

Here is a quick snapshot of our upcoming grant cycles as we look ahead to the next fiscal year. (Updated 1/5/2024)

For 2024, both our Fast Track application and our Standard Process inquiry form will be open for applicants 24/7.

Fast Track Arts Grants

Fast Track Arts grant requests can be submitted any time, all year. There is no application deadline and requests are reviewed monthly.

The Fast Track program has a one-step application and is for Oregon arts organizations with annual expenses between $25,000-$499,999.

Standard Grants from the Miller Foundation

With the sunsetting of our Operating Support Initiative and the expansion of our Standard Process grants, our Inquiry Form (LOI) can be submitted any time, all year. These forms will be reviewed three times each year for Arts and Education applicants.

  • Education: Our Standard Process is for Education applicants with annual expenses over $25,000.
  • Arts: Our Standard Process is for Arts applicants with annual expenses over $500,000.

Miller Foundation's Standard Process 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.
