The Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation board of directors has voted to reserve a percentage of funds during each grant round, The intent is to reserve funds, allowing the Foundation to save enough for an occasional substantive award for special projects. In order to do this, the Board has designated the maximum grant amount to be $15,000. The board continues to maintain its priority of funding youth education and strengthening youth and family.
