SALEM, Ore. – The Oversight Accountability Council (OAC), which governs Measure 110, is soliciting applications for a new round of four-year grants – drawing from an estimated $400 million in statewide cannabis tax revenues.
Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has unveiled a new application that will speed up application review and give the OAC better information when deciding to fund applications.
The changes include:
- Requiring more specificity on how potential grantees will use their Measure 110 funding.
- Requiring applicants to apply as a single entity – the previous application allowed providers to apply as part of a network – resulting in greater accountability of a provider’s ability to fulfill the grant requirements prior to receiving the funds.
- More transparency showing each provider how their application will be scored – something that was not available in the initial application process.
The changes also include shortening and clarifying the grant applications, examining past performance of current Measure 110 grantees, and specifying the requirement(s) for Measure 110-funded services and service providers.
Under HB 2513 (2023), OHA is taking a more active role to issue and score grant applications. OHA is anticipating a high volume of applications and is ready to begin reviewing applications this fall to ensure the timely delivery of new funding.
The new funding will run from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2029.
The deadline for applying is Oct. 4. The application is here.
All questions from prospective applicants about the RFGA and related documents should go through the established single-point-of-contact, Karissa Montano.
Any answers given by someone other than Karissa are considered unofficial and non-binding and may result in the application rejection.
