Our Purpose

The Grants Office serves faculty and staff who seek to propose and develop projects aligning with Chemeketa's goals, strategic priorities and mission. If you are a student seeking funds for college, please go to the Foundation Scholarship page. The grants office helps to:

• Identify and disseminate funding opportunities
• Determine grant eligibility and identify regulations associated with the grant
• Research and analyze external data relevant to a particular project proposal
• Assist teams in the project proposal design and writing
• Coordinate and communicate with community partners by coordinating the grant proposal process in conjunction with Business Services
• Assist in the proposal submission process
• Help with the management of grant awards

Getting Started

• The first step in pursuing grant funding is to contact the Grants Office. We will help identify any restrictions or regulations associated with the grant 
• The second step is to complete, sign, and submit the Grant Authorization Form, the administration's "green light" to begin work on the grant  
• The third step is to stay in touch with the Grants Office. We will guide you through every step of the process

Remember

• All grants, regardless of dollar amount or source, must be reviewed by the Grants Office and Grant Accountant before submission
• Once awarded, never sign an agreement from a funding agency. Only the College President, Associate Vice President of Financial Management, and General Counsel have the authority to sign grant agreements
