The Lilja Family Fund was established by Don Lilja and his sister Helen through their estates to support communities in South Douglas County, Oregon, including Canyonville, Riddle, Tri-City, Camas Valley, Myrtle Creek, Days Creek, Milo, Azalea, and Glendale. The fund annually provides approximately $40,000 in grants to projects that address priorities in K-12 education, early childhood education, youth development, literacy, culture, and community. Grants typically range from $2,000 to $10,000, with priority given to projects offering direct student services and not covering basic operational costs.
Grant renewed every year. Grant annual opening/closing deadline: 06/01 to 07/15
