Oregon Track Club Grass Roots Grant

Mission Statement

The Oregon Track Club Grass Roots Grant is dedicated to youth and developmental track and field and running organizations in the greater Eugene/Springfield, Oregon area where the Oregon Track Club was founded in 1958, and where today the Oregon Track Club is active in the promotion of track and field activities.

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 1st to be considered for the  current calendar year. 

Proposals are reviewed and decisions made during the month of November. 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.
