Oregon Community Foundation has announced the next application window for the Better Nursing Home Care Fund for October 15 through December 1, 2026. The fund supports projects focused on improving care for nursing home residents in Oregon. Eligible applicants are tax-exempt nonprofits and public agencies operating in Oregon; projects may benefit nonprofit or for-profit nursing homes, but the fund is not available for assisted living facilities or other care facilities. The controlling OCF page states that grants generally will not be made for equipment or capital projects. Program priorities include workforce attraction and retention, effective training, therapy and recreation practices, integration of tested technology, collaboration, and evidence-based practices such as dementia care. Applications are submitted online through MyOCF. As of September 23, 2026, the controlling OCF page does not state the 2026 award amount or range, match or cost-share requirement, or the December 1 deadline clock time and time zone. This record is fail-closed in Draft and must not be used for ORIGINAL outreach until those mandatory verification fields are resolved and the application window has opened.

Broad Eligibility
Tax-exempt nonprofit organizations and public agencies operating within Oregon may apply. Projects may address needs of nonprofit or for-profit nursing homes, but the fund is solely for nursing home residents and excludes projects focused on assisted living facilities or other care facilities.
Atlas Analysis
High Oregon healthcare and QC Healthcare relevance for nursing-home quality, staffing, training, evidence-based care, and tested technology integration. N9+ fit is not established: the current OCF page generally excludes equipment and capital projects, so no N9+ assumption or promotion is appropriate without controlling 2026 application materials establishing a defensible fit.
