Award Statistics for Fiscal Year 2012
We've compiled the data and prepared a summary of awards made through our Responsive and Grassroots Grants programs during MMT's fiscal year 2012 (4/1/2011 through 3/31/2012). We invite you to take a look!
Award Statistics for Fiscal Year 2011
We are often asked how many applications we receive, how many are approved, and what the awards were for. So, to supplement Marie's monthly award announcements, I thought I'd provide some statistics on grants made through our Responsive Grants and Grassroots Grants programs in MMT's most recent fiscal year (April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011).
Supporting Leadership Development in Communities of Color
Topics: Grantmaking
I'm excited to tell you about a project I've had the privilege of working with for the past several months.
Deadlines
Today is a deadline for both our Grassroots Grants and Responsive Grants Inquiry applications. Since we often get many frantic, last-minute calls with questions, I thought I'd answer a few of the common ones here:
Diving into Oregon's Ocean
Topics: Grantmaking
If you’ve perused our website, you may have come across a description of MMT’s investment in ocean conservation.
MMT has always had a strong commitment to the stewardship of Oregon’s
land-based natural resources. In 2006, we learned that an incredibly
small portion of private funding for the environment goes to ocean
conservation.
A resolve to blog!
Topics: Grantmaking
Our communications director, Marie Deatherage, has been urging more of the MMT staff to join the 21st century and blog! I want to get with the program, but honestly find the idea of blogging daunting to say the least. An experience I had as college English major, at the dawn of the digital age, may have some bearing.
Grantmaking to Communities of Color in Oregon Project
Topics: Grantmaking
If you got an “out of office” email reply from me earlier this month, it’s because I was attending the Grantmakers of Oregon and SW Washington (GOSW) conference in beautiful Astoria, Oregon. What happens at a grantmakers conference you may ask? Well, it’s an opportunity

Shared Resources Workshop Follow-Up
Topics: Grantmaking
We've been asked by a number of attendees at both the Portland and
Roseburg workshops to publish a list of all participants to facilitate
networking from around the state.
This request was also made by some who were not able to attend the
workshop because they may want to participate
Shared Space Request for Proposals announced
Topics: Grantmaking
In July 2007, when Meyer Memorial Trust was considering its own future space needs, we posted a message on our blog
asking readers to let us know what they thought of a nonprofit center
in which multiple organizations share a facility and related resources.
We received forty written responses and other phone calls from
nonprofit organizations expressing enthusiasm for this concept.
Is it that easy being green?
Topics: Grantmaking
With profound apologies to Kermit the Frog, we'd like to ask you about being green... As you may know, for several years MMT has had a policy encouraging "green" building practices in capital projects that seek funding from us. We have been especially interested in seeing construction that reduces use of fossil fuels and lowers ongoing energy costs for organizations.
