Office of
Grant Development
Welcome to Chemeketa's Office of Grant Development
The Office of Grant Development serves the Chemeketa community by helping to secure external funding that helps Chemeketa provide opportunities for adult literacy, open the door to all levels of college, and create centers of excellence in technical training, workforce development, and business support.
Grant Development Services
The grant development process encompasses everything that happens before a grant or contract begins. Chemeketa's Office of Grant Development is here to help program directors, staff, and faculty through the process:
- by searching for funding and keeping the Chemeketa community abreast of funding alerts
- by offering workshops and other information about grantwriting
- by helping you read and understand funding guidelines
- by facilitating partnerships between funders, community partners, and the college administration to develop a competitive grant proposal
- by helping you develop realistic budgets in keeping with your project's needs and with college and federal guidelines
- by helping with proposal development, feedback, and editing
- by helping you complete forms and submit proposals electronically or by mail
- by negotiating budget modifications and contract amendments
- by helping with electronic research administration and reporting
Please contact Diane Schmitz or Bart Boyer to discuss your ideas, schedule a meeting or workshop, or learn more about grants and contract funding. The Grants Office is in Building 2, room 225, and can be reached at 503-399-6031.
