Sherwood Trust 2027 Grant Webinar

About this event

Sherwood Trust’s 2027 Grant Guidelines are now available, including information and timelines for qualified grant requests. Sherwood Trust CEO Brian Hunt said the private foundation expects to award up to $1.5 million this year through its competitive Core Grant program.

Sherwood Trust competitive grants are available to qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofits and governmental agencies operating in Walla Walla and Columbia counties in Washington and Milton-Freewater, Oregon. Sherwood Trust seeks to support nonprofit and community initiatives that reflect its vision and values and address an organization’s most pressing priority.

“We are looking forward to a competitive grant cycle,” Hunt said. “We expect to have more grant dollars available, and we know our nonprofit community is working hard to support and care for all of our neighbors here.”

Sherwood Trust’s competitive Core Grant process includes three steps: Letter of Interest, Application, and Site Visit. Trustees determine which Letters of Interest advance to the Application phase. Application evaluation includes a site visit to the applying organization. Funding is awarded in June, pending signed grant agreements.

Core Grant proposals should address a qualified organization’s highest priority. Grants may involve multi-year commitments and generally support organizational capacity, community-building, and capital “brick-and-mortar” projects.

The deadline to submit a Letter of Interest is Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2027.
