How to apply: full steps and checklist

1. Is this for me?

Public K-12 districts, community colleges and education service districts can apply for eligible retrofits. New construction and solely nonstructural projects are excluded.

Service area: Oregon; confirm program-specific location and institution requirements.

2. What should I prepare?

Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.

3. Where and how do I submit?

Deliver one original paper application with supporting documents plus a USB memory stick containing a duplicate set to Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program, Attn: Gloria Zacharias, Oregon Business Development Department, 775 Summer Street NE, Suite 310, Salem, OR 97301. Mail, UPS, FedEx or hand delivery are accepted; fax is not. Business Oregon must receive the complete packet by January 8, 2027, 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

Timing: The 2026-27 cycle runs September 14, 2026 through January 8, 2027. The complete application and supporting documents must be received by Business Oregon by 5 p.m. Pacific Time on January 8, 2027; a postmark alone does not meet the received-by requirement.

4. What will it cost?

Details to confirm with the provider

A program-specific cost explanation has not been verified. Ask the provider whether this route has any fees, required contribution or repayment terms, and what cost assistance is available.

5. What happens after I submit?

Business Oregon reviews eligibility and completeness and notifies applicants not meeting those requirements or not selected for further review. Awarded projects use reimbursement requests and required progress reporting; review the agreement and guidance before spending.

6. What if something goes wrong?

Incomplete applications, missing supplemental documents and ineligible activities can eliminate an application. Resolve questions with the program coordinator before submission; use the current engineering and BCA templates.
