2026 Roundhouse Foundation New Construction Capital Grants – Rural Oregon
The Roundhouse Foundation invites eligible rural Oregon community organizations to submit a 2026 Capital Programs Letter of Inquiry (LOI) for construction, facility expansion or significant renovation serving rural Oregon, including community centers, educational facilities, and health or wellness centers. This capital track considers up to $100,000 per applicant; this is an individual request ceiling, not a total program funding pool.
Deadline and application stage
November 30, 2026 is the last day of the 2026 January-November rolling LOI window. The funder does not specify a closing hour or time zone. The initial application is a brief LOI, not a direct full application. Roundhouse reviews LOIs and invites selected applicants to submit full applications. Decisions may take 8-12 weeks.
Eligibility and eligible uses
Eligible lead applicants include IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charities, qualifying fiscally sponsored nonprofits actively pursuing tax-exempt status, governmental entities and special districts, and Tribal governments. Projects must deliver a clear benefit to rural Oregon, regardless of applicant headquarters. The LOI asks applicants to describe ownership of land and building, applicable leases, historic designations, and long-term maintenance.
Restrictions and funding conditions
The funder may consider one capital award per organization per year, provided no other Roundhouse grant is active. Prior recipients within 12 months or applicants with outstanding reports should contact foundation staff before applying. Projects must fit arts/culture, education, environmental stewardship or social-services aims. Excluded are individual personal grants, faith-based institutions, political campaigns or lobbying, endowments, debts, and private tuition-based or charter elementary or secondary schools. No universal cash-match rate or reimbursement policy was published. Competitive applications should show community and financial support, a realistic project budget, and asset stewardship.
Required LOI materials
The 2026 Capital Programs LOI requires selecting this track and focus area, project budget, funds raised to date, timeline, rural towns or Tribal nations served, project description and maintenance plans, and at least one bid, estimate or quote. Building projects answer property ownership and historic-designation questions; vehicle applicants provide a dealer quote, driver policy, training, and storage plans. Full application is by invitation only, with additional organizational documents requested when applicable.
