Coquille Tribal Community Fund — 2026–27 Grants is a competitive, applicant-facing grant program of the Coquille (Ko-Kwel) Indian Tribe supporting public-benefit projects in southwest Oregon. The official 2026–27 application window opened September 21, 2026 and closes November 16, 2026; no exact cutoff hour or time zone is stated on the public funder page. The grant portal confirms no Letter of Inquiry stage.
Applicant funding: Requests must be $1,000 or more. The current public instructions do not publish a binding maximum individual grant; amounts in historical award reports describe earlier aggregate distributions, not a current individual award ceiling. Requests below $1,000 belong to a separate small-donations process.
Geographic and applicant eligibility: Charitable organizations in Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson, and Lane Counties, Oregon, and the Tribe itself, may be considered. Government agencies in Coos County may apply for qualifying public programs, including schools, law enforcement, fire and similar services. Public agencies outside Coos County are generally not directly eligible; the funder’s published rules describe limited indirect pathways for specifically Coos County projects or nonprofit applicants.
Eligible project areas: education and after-school programs, public safety and volunteer emergency services, arts and culture, conservation and environmental projects, historic preservation, community health and well-being, food and energy assistance, and problem-gaming prevention or treatment.
Important exclusions: General operating expenses including salaries and benefits; fundraising, advertising, endowments, individual needs, medical/scientific research, sports sponsorships, religious programs, residential care and medical clinics, scholarships, and direct public-agency applications outside the geographic rules. This fund supports some community health projects but does not fund medical clinics. The current public instructions state no universal matching requirement or reimbursement-only rule; applicants should confirm proposal-specific conditions in the application.
How to apply: Review the official eligibility and exclusions and the 2026–27 grant announcement. Register or sign in to the Coquille Tribal Community Fund grant portal and submit the required applicant organization and project details by November 16, 2026. The portal confirms a single-stage application without an LOI. Verified against current official sources October 25, 2026.
