Hello Oregonians!
Here is a quick snapshot of our upcoming grant cycles. Other news is also posted on our blog here, and feel free to follow us on Facebook or Instagram.
For 2026, both our Fast Track application and our Standard Grant inquiry form will again 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. Starting a grant request begins by organizations taking the Eligibility Quiz in our organization grants portal.
Fast Track Arts grant requests can be submitted any time, all year. There is no application deadline. 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 operating 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. LOIs are 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.
