The Forest Service, state agencies, communities, and others have placed significant expectations on collaboratives such as increased social agreement about forest management, and concomitant ecological and economic outcomes. As expectations of forest collaboratives have grown, two primary grant programs have emerged to support them: Collaborative Capacity grants from Oregon’s Federal Forest Restoration Program (FFRP) and Forest Service Region 6 Community Capacity and Land Stewardship (CCLS) program grants administered by the National Forest Foundation. These funders and others who work with forest collaboratives increasingly require updated information about how groups use funds and their future needs. In addition, there are limited formal opportunities for collaboratives to develop knowledge about and benefit from the financial picture of their peers. At the request of the Oregon Department of Forestry, which administers the FFRP, we undertook this study to address questions of sources of collaborative funding, diversity of sources, match leveraged, and collaborative preferences for future grant offerings. We gathered information about 23 collaboratives in Oregon that have received FFRP or CCLS funding between 2013–2018 using grant documentation and information requests to collaborative coordinators.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USForest restorationForest managementUnited States.
