CPCCO has engaged in community conversations with our advisors and community partners about factors that create health and well-being for all individuals living in Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties. These conversations have resulted in a five-year regional health improvement plan committed to increase the intersection between healthcare, social services, and the social determinants of health.
Our goal is to encourage and assist community-wide efforts that maximize the creation and investment in health and well-being through community-based supports and services, along with the efforts to improve population health.
In supporting local organizations in their efforts to address these priorities, we have created three grant programs:
- Columbia Pacific CCO Large Grant Program
- Community Wellness Investment Fund
- Regional Housing Impact Fund
We also support local event sponsorships.
Emphasis for funding will be on projects that are collaborative, sustainable, and integrative across the spectrum of health interventions, including social determinants. Funded projects are also intended to show sustainability over time, while also leveraging existing community resources.
If you have any questions, please contact Karen Knudson at knudsonk@careoregon.org
We look forward to hearing from you.

Large Grant Program
2023 applications will have one cycle, opening May 1 and closing July 14, 2023. These are for requests over $25,000. Applications for 2023 Large Grants will be focused on CPCCO’s Regional Health Improvement Plan priority areas listed here:
- Access to Care: Social Safety Net
- Access to Chronic Disease Prevention
- Access to Suicide Prevention.
To meet the goals of these priority areas, grant proposals will increase the number of preventive supports and services by working across sectors to address one or more of the following:
- Improving nutrition and food access
- Suicide prevention
- Preventing alcohol or drug misuse
- Tobacco cessation
- Improving chronic health conditions
- Coordination of services between community-based organizations, public health services, hospitals and primary care
Projects can include, but are not limited to, increasing access to healthy food, transportation and social connections, as well as those that decrease social isolation.

Regional Housing Impact Fund
With a primary focus on Oregon Health Plan enrollees, Columbia Pacific CCO invests in building clinical and community capacity for prevention, service integration, affordable housing, community-identified health priorities and health equity as core components of health care transformation. We recognize the importance of meeting immediate community needs while also working for changes in policies, systems and institutional practices that are barriers to transformative health practices. We also recognize that this kind of change requires more than a single year or a single organization’s efforts.
Therefore, we seek collective impact applications, requiring organizations with aligned goals and efforts to partner with one another in innovative and creative ways. We believe that collaboration between non-profit organizations, housing development corporations, counties, clinics and agencies, the community being served and other leaders and stakeholders are essential to systemic change. Columbia Pacific CCO supports proposals that elevate community-based knowledge, local assets, and the voices of the populations we serve.
Applications are accepted throughout the year (opening mid-January and closing mid-December). To apply, and for more information, click on the ZoomGrants button below. We look forward to working with our community partners to create better health together.
