Funding for Engagement of Baby Boomers from the Oregon Community Foundation

The OregonCommunity Foundation (OCF) is exploring the engagement of Baby Boomer-age adults in services and issues directed to improving the lives of Oregon’s children from birth to age eight.  The Foundation plans to award between $10,000 and $40,000 to fund two to four projects that demonstrate innovative ways to engage older adults in paid (full time, part time, or stipend) or unpaid (volunteer) opportunities in this area.  Successful projects may be eligible for continuation or expansion funding for up to two additional years.
