Applications open
for $62M fund for
Black Oregonians
By ZANE SPARLING
OreGOn CapItaL bUreaU
A $62 million relief fund
is now accepting applica-
tions from Black residents
picking up the pieces after
the novel coronavirus shat-
tered lives and livelihoods
across Oregon.
The Oregon Cares Fund
for Black Relief and Resil-
iency will distribute the
money — taken from the
$1.4 billion sent to Oregon
via the federal CARES Act
— in increments of $1,000,
$2,000 or $3,000, depending
on the severity of the virus’
impact.
Grants are also available
for Black-owned businesses
and nonprofits.
Two nonprofits, The
Contingent and The Black
United Fund, will manage
monetary distribution, and
an 11-member Council of
Trust was formed to provide
oversight.
Grant applications will
be accepted on a rolling
basis, with distribution of
the money expected two to
three weeks later.
The money will be dis-
tributed based on need —
not on a first-come, first-
served basis.
The Oregon Legisla-
ture’s Emergency Board,
which approved the $62
million allocation in July,
requires that the money be
disbursed no later than Dec.
30, 2020.
