SDAO Scholarship and Grant Support Page

The mission of the Special Districts Association of Oregon is to assist special service districts in providing cost-effective and efficient public services to the people of Oregon. Programs and trainings designed to assist with the successful operation of a local government entity can often be cost-restrictive for many of our members. The SDAO Education and Grant Fund is designed to be a resource for our special district members to utilize for education, training, and funding of various association-defined programs related to the operation of a special district.

Your tax-deductible donation helps fund:

SDAO/SDIS training registration fees for districts with minimal funds for education
Outside educational opportunities for special district representatives such as conferences or trainings
SDAO Internship Grant Program
Other related programs and services
