The annual Strategic Investment Fund (SIF) was created to provide timely support for projects and opportunities that will make real short-term impacts in Southern Oregon as a destination.
For the 2025/2026 cycle, there is $80,000 available. We will be awarding investments that are focused on accessibility projects; niche- and off-season marketing support; visitor-facing outdoor recreation work; dark sky product development; and destination stewardship initiatives that will make Southern Oregon a more welcoming and sustainable destination.
All non-profits, non-governmental organizations, Recognized Tribes, and private businesses located in and serving Southern Oregon are encouraged to apply. The application period will be open July 10th - August 22nd.
