2.   CHANGES TO NATIONAL TRUST PRESERVATION FUNDS GRANTS PROGRAM

Please note changes to special program within the National Trust Preservation Funds Grant Program. Not only are the Johanna Favrot Fund and the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Fund now offering up to $15,000 in grant funding, but they are also covering brick-and-mortar projects-a unique feature to these two funds within the National Trust Preservation Funds grant program.
Applications for both funds are due March 15. Learn more about these two funds:

  *   The Johanna Favrot Fund<http://my.preservationnation.org/site/R?i=qjanCxSsVvcfhQJfny4NXg> aims to save historic environments in order to foster an appreciation of our nation's diverse cultural heritage and to preserve and revitalize the livability of the nation's communities.
  *   The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Fund<http://my.preservationnation.org/site/R?i=ZoZfAe2BlJVpDrO4rndRdA> assists in the preservation, restoration, and interpretation of historic interiors.

3.   SEVERAL OREGON HERITAGE GRANTS NOW OPEN FOR APPLICATION

The following grants are now open for applications:

-          The Preserving Oregon Grants fund preservation of historic buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Work may include non-maintenance preservation like window repair, roof work, foundation projects, and plumbing and electrical needs. Recently funded projects include preservation of the IOOF cabins at Paulina Lake, the Floed-Lane House in Roseburg, and Gaiety Hollow in Salem. The program also funds significant work contributing toward identifying, preserving and interpreting archaeological sites. Archaeology projects were funded in Douglas and Lincoln Counties and along the coast.

-          The Diamonds in the Rough Grants help restore or reconstruct the facades of buildings that have been heavily altered over the years. These grant return buildings to their historic appearance and potentially qualify them for historic register designation (local or national). Fa?ade projects in Astoria, Baker City, Burns and Cave Junction were funded in the last cycle.

-          The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is offering grants for qualified historic cemeteries. The annual grants<http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/FINASST/Pages/grants.aspx> fund projects that preserve historic cemeteries. Projects funded in the past include marker repair workshops, fencing, signs, interpretive panels and brochures, security lighting, access improvements, records management, and more. Awards typically range between $1,000 and $8,000, but have been higher.

-          The Oregon Heritage Commission is offering grants to qualified museums for collections, heritage tourism, and education and interpretation projects. Awards typically range between $2,000 and $10,000. Museums may apply for a variety of projects, including of the following examples. Collections projects may include cataloging, archival storage, disaster preparedness and conservation. Heritage tourism projects may include museum marketing and promotions, enhancing visitor experience, and training for museum staff. Education and interpretation projects may include exhibits, online education, school classes, workshops and camps. Museums may also partner with other organizations for projects that might be outside the museum, but still meet the museum's mission.

Staff is happy to talk with applicants about potential grant projects, review applications and assist with the online grant system. Free grant workshops on project planning and grant writing and using the online grant application will be available. Workshops will be in Salem on March 8 and 13. Webinar workshops will be available on March 15 and 22.

To learn more about the grants and workshops visit www.oregonheritage.org<http://www.oregonheritage.org/> or contact Kuri Gill at Kuri.Gill at oregon.gov<mailto:Kuri.Gill at oregon.gov> or 503-986-0685.

Hello All,

Below is a call for Community Applications from the RARE Americorps Program. Some of our Main Street organizations have been fortunate to have a RARE participant help them with their downtown revitalization efforts so if it?s something you are considering, I?m sure they wouldn?t mind talking to you about their experience.

Best,

Katie

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you again for your efforts to save the Historic Tax Credit! Your work was invaluable in communicating the value of Historic Tax Credits, activating leaders and, ultimately, moving the needle to retain the HTC.

With the momentum we built as a network during the HTC campaign, I want to let you know of a new initiative spearheaded by our partners at Smart Growth America<https://mainstreet.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=881199cb2d0b2894c01ba06c1&id=5fa373443b&e=1ecbf825ba>, called First & Main. Produced with input from dozens of local elected leaders from across the country, the First & Main Blueprint<https://mainstreet.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=881199cb2d0b2894c01ba06c1&id=09cd2ce302&e=1ecbf825ba> is designed to protect federal programs that work for local communities, improve programs that must become more effective, and create new programs to provide local communities with additional resources.

The Blueprint aims to build a nonpartisan coalition of local elected officials ? from small and medium-sized American towns, counties and cities across the country. The coalition will work to extend prosperity to members? towns and cities ? and the people within them.

I hope you?ll join us for a webinar on Thursday, March 1st at 3 p.m. ET to learn about the First & Main Blueprint. I encourage you to invite a local elected official to attend with you to learn more about the campaign.

Click here to register for the webinar<https://mainstreet.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=881199cb2d0b2894c01ba06c1&id=57d0f075d8&e=1ecbf825ba>.

During the webinar, staff from Smart Growth America and members of the coalition will introduce the Blueprint and outline plans for engagement with Congress through the media, at home, and in Washington, D.C.  The First & Main team will be in attendance at the Main Street Now Conference in Kansas City. You can learn more about the platform on Monday, March 26th at the session Your Community, Your Voice<https://mainstreet.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=881199cb2d0b2894c01ba06c1&id=95ac20e38a&e=1ecbf825ba>, 11:00-11:45 a.m. in room Count Basie A/A1.

I look forward to working with all of you to advocate for the needs of smaller and mid-sized communities across the country.

If you have any questions, please be in touch with Kelly Humrichouser, Programs Coordinator, at khumrichouser at savingplaces.org<mailto:khumrichouser at savingplaces.org>.

Sincerely,

Hello, all. I am working on a grant application for a project to build on a
community engagement/assessment that we did a couple years ago that
identified some areas that our local community would like to see improved
upon. I'd like to move that into the next phase, and want to have some
consulting work done on feasibility studies that give us a better sense of
priority and focus. Anyone have recommendations?

Hi Luke,

I highly recommend contacting her to see if she is a good fit for what you need. Her email address is lori at goddessofgrants.com<mailto:lori at goddessofgrants.com>.

Subject: Re: [OMS_MANAGERS] FW: RARE AmeriCorps Program - Call for Community Applications!

Hello, all. I am working on a grant application for a project to build on a community engagement/assessment that we did a couple years ago that identified some areas that our local community would like to see improved upon. I'd like to move that into the next phase, and want to have some consulting work done on feasibility studies that give us a better sense of priority and focus. Anyone have recommendations?

Hello All,

Below is a call for Community Applications from the RARE Americorps Program. Some of our Main Street organizations have been fortunate to have a RARE participant help them with their downtown revitalization efforts so if it?s something you are considering, I?m sure they wouldn?t mind talking to you about their experience.

Best,

Katie

What is The RARE AmeriCorps Program?

RARE members assist in the development and implementation of projects focused on increasing the vitality of the communities and organizations we serve. Our members live in and serve communities for 11 months. The RARE AmeriCorps Program is now in its 24th Year and has placed more than 475 individuals and served every Oregon county.



Does My Organization Qualify For The RARE AmeriCorps Program?
The RARE AmeriCorps Program works with organizations that have identified specific needs in rural areas. Eligible organizations <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001mJKjZcfUp1UH-iB0647x5RuIIB3YBSlu1U235j53xeG3MJUaXOKqs8lyONG-NbQXTTVQDLgZoXNHZbBy1rhRjuYVDmr5WF3UBXiFt-g6_RD8pKgL66DubP2BkSL84UmSaDOOt4ws4UB3BjOiSb8BF32Zvq7RO5-akTPTM6pjF6WkSTUcw10TDGdIYROwZfWhtuWUXpCuq1Am-Y-DtB8IwJM-V8iVrEBrtbQ1tfF5tPqXeXevComb7Oic6enApeT9FukGOVth4CY4jqaWDxiw3em9PjUEaHqVwVnpilcMUdLmeDIOj9yAUxeu6OztyWGdDOFjUIqKodR3Vom_V4r2r5aAJ5ZmzB8PCN9zzKi_8nFpjAiv5iOK9uoplO3rv_x_wnnOEBwzbufiqU92fdVSThZOytMZlKTHJgDE6bh9dse-HJFF1MpMUJYcl4QaV8eDV9oAP86vO3QihHQSSqZ8Ik3iJShwg1UF&c=CO5C8vX5QPPzmM2sbuj6Uf8gfcS7Wm687Colohj22h6edI7uh4v7bw==&ch=4PmXJwgzd1jMCnWTnmIQ5GbRtwiLn0jruZnIhnuJ3k4R3t1-_9BtrQ==> include public agencies (including city, county, and regional governments); special districts (such as soil and water conservation districts, park and transportation districts); and non-profit organizations. RARE projects typically fall into the following categories: land use planning, downtown development, community and economic development, regional tourism, renewable energy, food systems planning, and natural resources planning.



How Can My Organization Participate?
To host a RARE member, each participating community or agency must provide a $23,500 match towards the placement, training, and support for the full-time RARE member. RARE AmeriCorps Program staff will administer the member's monthly stipend, medical insurance, and post-service educational award. To apply, communities must submit a Community Application<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001mJKjZcfUp1UH-iB0647x5RuIIB3YBSlu1U235j53xeG3MJUaXOKqs8lyONG-NbQXi1lM5t9Te5Klr20R21s9Q1c8t31SCTH7W56k-3qu3-injTOGgTIQZ7IklyqC28wtOXwfPiFs6Ug6KWx3jJ7NTVV2iPSYAR5j18GZ-9PODSqElhz95fRUMJ1ZPr1RzMbUR_yVCkpYDQ2xo--UyeqUI85-majcjYX9f9J3JDG-Pwc_RUATBb9BeXU13EM7JF-dmFPTcOhHva9QlDGOUMzOY-yzREAVHqs7jEAsstAWVz9QPNlDmxfBQHuWuURsW0A1HnfxLK5M7Ad6JSK1EhKeoKxNUYIl5iyLuaevMM7Jabh52K8bAaqRX_CTmPWchgOC3vZdjcXVbbQR45udDdlfGWiCn3rMzbOS4ZbKrH2xgP-cB60F85j5tpI3jSouhNGv&c=CO5C8vX5QPPzmM2sbuj6Uf8gfcS7Wm687Colohj22h6edI7uh4v7bw==&ch=4PmXJwgzd1jMCnWTnmIQ5GbRtwiLn0jruZnIhnuJ3k4R3t1-_9BtrQ==> by 5:00 PM on April 13th.

1.       Free Webinar, Building Your Group: How to Effectively Recruit and Manage Volunteers: February 22, noon to 1 p.m. PT: Community organizations need three kinds of resources to grow and succeed: time, money, and the leadership to use both wisely. In this webinar, we'll discuss how to find new volunteers and develop them into a team of committed leaders. Topics include: Identifying and filling the holes in your leadership team; member and volunteer recruitment; and motivating and managing volunteers (and easing out the ineffective ones). Sponsored by the Iowa Arts Council but open to nonprofits everywhere! To Register, click here: Building Your Group: How to Effectively Recruit and Manage Volunteers.<https://trainyourboard.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1e71939f19bcd4ae032cf1a9a&id=1c1c599c30&e=c390a86d37>

2.       Main Street Refresh Technical Assistance Reminder that applications are due February 23, 2018 - a copy of the application is attached: In 2016, the National Main Street Center launched a refreshed methodology using the Main Street Approach to downtown revitalization. This refreshed approach emphasizes having one or two overarching transformation strategies that provide a unifying direction and focus to align the strategies and work of the four points (Design, Economic Vitality, Promotion, and Organization). Oregon Main Street will be selecting up to five pilot communities to receive technical assistance. Eligible communities must be already participating in the Main Street Track (Performing Main Street, Transforming Downtown, and Exploring Downtown levels) focus their downtown revitalization efforts.

3.       Applications for Performing Main Street and Transforming Downtown levels are due March 2, 2018. Just a reminder that applications are open for the Performing Main Street and Transforming Downtown levels of the Oregon Main Street Network for communities who are currently participating at the Exploring Downtown and Associate levels and want to be considered for one of the upper tiers, or for communities who aren't currently part of the Network but feel they are ready to deeply engage with the Main Street program. Applications can be found on our website at: http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/HCD/SHPO/Pages/mainstreet.aspx

4.       The 2018 Oregon Brownfields Conference and Awards Luncheon is scheduled for April 29th through May 1st at Salishan Resort, Gleneden Beach - it's the first time the Conference will be on the coast!  There will be a half-day Brownfields 101 Workshop on Sunday for anyone new to brownfields redevelopment or feeling in need of a refresher course.  There is also a Mobile Workshop being planned which will provide an opportunity to see some of the redevelopment that has already occurred on environmentally challenging sites.  And not to be missed will be the Awards Luncheon recognizing four outstanding projects from around the state.  Registration is open and available online:  http://www.oregon4biz.com/Brownfields-Conference/

5.       Applications are now open for the Diamonds in the Rough Grant program to restore or reconstruct the facades of buildings that have been heavily altered over the years. The purpose is to return them to their historic appearance and potentially qualify them for historic register designation (local or national). These grants are part of the SHPO's Preserving Oregon Grant Program for the 2017-19 biennium. Grants may be awarded up to $20,000. For grant guidelines and application info see: www.oregoheritage.org<http://www.oregoheritage.org>. Contact: Kuri Gill, kuri.gill at oregon.gov<mailto:kuri.gill at oregon.gov> or 503.986.0685.

Hi All!

I want to find an awesome photo of an Oregon Main Street Network community to put on the front of our 2017 Annual Report. Ideally, it would be a great shot of your downtown on a beautiful day. If you have the perfect photo, please send it to me at Katie.henry at oregon.gov<mailto:Katie.henry at oregon.gov> (do not reply to this email as it will go over the entire listserv and jam up everyone's inbox).

Remember, this annual report gets seen by anyone visiting the website, legislators, distributed at outreach events, and of course sent to the entire OMS network. That would be great exposure for the lucky community's photo that graces the cover of the report.

If you send a photo, please let me know if I need to credit a certain individual or photographer.

Let me know if you have questions and I look forward to seeing some awesome photos!

Katie

Hello, everyone. Another question: Any reccomendations on architects for
parks? We've got a space at the end of our North Main Street that has been
offered to us for a park area, and I'd like to put together a proposal for
some upcoming grants, but I need a drawing or cost estimate.

We?ve also had some great luck at very low cost by using deign services from FIVERR- it?s a clearinghouse for all kinds of designers who are often looking to build portfolios and offer services digitally at very low costs. If you?re looking for mock ups and ideas, this could be a great and inexpensive option.

Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] Your Main Street Weekend Getaway Gift Basket swap
Message-ID: <007b01d3ad10$0cb38550$261a8ff0$@albanydowntown.com>

 

 

Would anyone be interested in a Main Street Weekend Getaway Gift Basket swap.

 

Albany Downtown Association has an upcoming fundraiser called Mixology Madness on March 17. It?s a fun, stylish evening centered around a cocktail contest with sampling. Most of the cocktails are made offsite by local restaurants, smuggled to the event and blind tasted by judges and attendees. This year, we?re adding a live bartender contest as well. 

 

Another piece of the event is a silent auction. This is where the idea of a Main Street Weekend Getaway Gift Basket swap would come in. Our committee thought a fun silent auction item would be a weekend getaway basket from another Oregon Main Street. Ours would look something like ? Lunch at Novak?s, a growler / tap house stop, Dinner at Sybaris, Pix Theater movie tickets, Night at Dawson House B&B, Brunch at Brick & Mortar, Albany Carousel tokens, Regional Museum certificate, etc. 

 

We?d work with the other Main Street to make sure it?s equitable. We can discuss a physical swap or create a graphic display and exchange the various certificates electronically. If multiple managers like this idea, we could look at a way to swap around on a periodic basis, so we?ll have a pool of different Main Street Getaways.

 

What do you think? Anyone want to build a Weekend Getaway to your Main Street and do a swap?

 

Thank you,

Do any of your organization invest your reserve funds? We're looking at getting our money to earn more money, but would like to avoid reinventing the wheel, with guidelines/bylaws/regulations.

The Beaverton Downtown Association does not do this but other 501
organizations I work with do but only with very safe investments or
guaranteed investments which today typically pay <1% for short term and less
that 3% for 10 year investments. You also have to be careful if you have
more than ~$250K at any one bank because anything over that is not federally
insured unless you take special measures.

In long past years when short term rates were 5% and long term over 10% and
inflation was significant, investing was standard practice; as interest
rates and CPI dropped investing to earn more has become more difficult and
risky. Also if you do invest Reserve Funds for > 1 year and you run into an
emergency you have a problem.

Today non-profits I work with are earning .5% on our reserve funds but we
have complete access to them, at least 1 is looking into a 1 year Federally
Insured CD at 2.5%, 5 year CD's today are also paying 2.5%. Rates quotes are
from Google and typical of what may be available.

How much are you looking to invest? You should keep everything above a
rainy day reserve in savings. You can put the rest in a CD. I am on the
board of an organization that has a couple hundred thousand in savings.
That account earns .75% per year. Additional assets are saved in a CDARS
account.
