Grant Funding Tiers

The EEW Grant program awards funding based on the number of staff employed at an education organization.  This tiered funding structure, based on organizational size, was implemented in part to offer equitable funding to the wide range of education organizations across the state.

The table below can help you determine your organization’s tier based on the total number of staff. Please contact us if you have any questions about the tiered funding structure.

If your organization has 19 or fewer employees OR 3,000 or more employees, please reach out to Oregon Well-Being Trust before submitting your application to determine the funding.
