Opportunity Fund
Because the best-laid plans can run into the unexpected, the Brainerd Foundation designates a limited amount of funds toward Opportunity Fund grants. These grants range from $250 to $3,000 US and are awarded to organizations confronted with a timely opportunity to impact a conservation policy debate in the Northwest.
We are specifically interested in meeting needs that pertain to outreach, but monies from this fund can also be used for emergent litigation, applied research and other unexpected needs. Priority is given to requests that fit into a broader strategy in the state or region.
Requests for Opportunity Fund grants have no deadline and receive immediate attention.
