Re: Discretionary Grant Program — National Forest Foundation Grant (NFF) The Upper Deschutes River Coalition is applying for a $24,000 capacity building grant from the National Forest Foundation (draft application is attached). We are requesting a discretionary grant of $2,000 as part of our fund rasing in support of the NFF grant. Our three goals are: 1. Support the development of biomass plants in Central Oregon 2. Collaborate with Deschutes County Forester, State of Oregon Forestry and UDRC stakholders to obtain funds for increased stewardship in the Deschutes River Basin and fuel reduction on private lands in the UDRC's 69,000 acre service area 3. Through Board and stakholder participation rasie $44,800 to fund the Coalition's programs through December 21, 2012. The overall budget for our program is $76,000 consisting of $24,000 from the NFF, $44,800 from donors and $7,200 in-kind. Your support of our request is appreciated. Sincerely, Gerald M. Hubbard, CFM, IFMA Fellow Executive Director, UDRC 541-390-9798 jhubbard@chamberscable.com Upper Deschutes River Coaltion www.udrc.org Collaborative Land Stewardship: Twenty Year Vision, Strategy, Objectives and Roles In Managing 69,000 acres in the Deschutes River Basin of Oregon 4/20/2011 J Hubbard Program Narrative a. CONTEXT: THE CENTRAL ISSUES CHALLENGING LARGE SCALE STEWARDSHIP AND HOW ISSUES WILL BE ADDRESSED The central issue impeding watershed restoration on the rivers adjoining the Deschutes National Forest is a lack of a strategic vision that encompasses not only the rivers but also the community, economy, major job creation, forests, wildlife, education, recreation and the capacity of the Upper Deschutes River Coalition. The Coalition's collaborative vision and plan directly supports long-term economic impact of $$ 1 billion in Central Oregon and creation of 80 biomass plant operating jobs and 320 indirect jobs in fuel collection and transportation and indirect jobs and over 20 years $24 million in annual payrolls. inclusive strategic vision, action plan and obtain funding for operations to the end of 2012 and beyond for its 69,000 acre service area. The total budget is $76,000 including NFF's $24,000, $44,800 in UDRC's funding and $7,200 in in-kind volunteer service. While the UDRC has created a unique role in the United States by bringing together stakeholders, the UDRC needs additional capacity to continue to be a leader in effective stewardship of public and private lands in Central Oregon. The NFF's investment in the UDRC will help build capacity to raise money for projects and operations. Without new funds for capacity the Coalition may have to close operations by the fourth quarter of 2011. With a NFF capacity building grant the Coalition can build resources to allow for continued operations, collaborations and projects on public and private lands for year to come. T he Upper Deschutes River Coalition (UDRC) is a national leader (Joe Stutler, Deschutes County Forster) in developing and managing a diverse collaboration of Federal, State, County, neighborhood associations, stakeholders and nonprofits to address issues in the effective management of 69,000 acres in the Deschutes River Basin of Central Oregon. The UDRC was formed in 2004 and since 2005, obtained grants and donations of over $600,000 which the Coalition invested in its service area with an economic impact of $3 million (1:5). With over 6,200 land owners the Coalition has been able to create a synergy that has fostered regional communications and cooperation. UDRC's Primary Role is to catalyze and coordinate its stakeholders The UDRC is a multiple -issue, project -based coalition representing a broad range of interests among its 24 member communities, Federal, State, County and other stakeholders. The UDRC's Twenty Year Vision Statement: Communities and partners aware of the issues, engaged, collaborating and acting together to create and maintain a healthy, scenic and sustainable environment where everyone is able to live with their core values. UDRC's Mission Statement: To protect Upper Deschutes River Communities by restoring and sustaining healthy fire-resistant forests, pure and abundant river flows and wildlife habitat. UDRC's Primary Role: The Upper Deschutes River Coalition is the lead organization in its 69,000 acre Wildland Urban Interface to catalyze and coordinate its stakeholders and partners. For example, of primary importance is to first educate, lobby and advocate, gather information from a position of innocence, be the voice of reason in ongoing water rights issues. UDRC's Primary Need: The UDRC's primary need is to enable partners and stakeholders to leverage their resources to carry out their own missions. A secondary need is to make the Coalition's 21 communities safer from the threat of wildfire. Since 2005, the Coalition has obtained grants and donations of $624,000. We have invested over $604,000 of the receipts in improving our service area with a focus on community -wide education, our monthly E News letter, wildfire fuel reduction, and watershed and wildlife habitat improvements. The UDRC with a $1,500 grant from Deschutes County created a new web site at www.udrc.org which will help keep our stakeholders informed on our work and Coalition issues. As of March 31, 2011, we have $15,878 in our general and project funds. $7,461of this amount is unrestricted funds for operations through August 2011. b. DEMONSTRATION OF NEED Organizational Need: The UDRC board and stakeholders participate in raising money for the Coalition. Indicator: Amount of money raised through board and stakeholder fundraising activities. Target: By December 2011, the group will raise at least $44,800 through targeted direct mail and member neighborhood donations. Baseline: $17,000 raised in local funds in 2010. Tools: Volunteer hours contributed by stakeholders and Vi time Executive Director. Responsible: Leadership team, Board and Executive Director. Use: Report to the Board on progress; incorporate into 2011 and 2012 budgets. The Coalition has a VI time Executive Director earning $500 a month who provides about 50 hours of service. The Coalition uses a contract accounting firm for recording and reporting on a monthly basis income and expenses plus grant reporting. All other work is done by volunteers including the four officers who spend about 120 hours a month. Additional capacity will allow contracting for a grant writer at $300 a month (more of a stipend than a market fee). The grant writer currently serves on the Coalition's leadership team. 2 UDRC's Primary Role is to catalyze and coordinate its stakeholders Financial Need: The Coalition will raise funds to operate through December 31, 2012. Indicator: The NFF grant would provide funds for continued operations in 2011 and 2012. With the grant writer and Coalition volunteers the Coalition should be able to be self sufficient after 2012. Target: Third quarter of 2011. Baseline: The County and the Coalition have a sweat equity fuel reduction agreement with $75,000 left for work in 2011 and the summer of 2012. The Coalition hires and manages contractors for fuel reduction work on private property but all funds go to contractors and no funds can be used for operating the Coalition. The requirement for increased insurance has increased the Coalitions operating costs with no off set in revenue. Tools: Grants from NFF and other sources. Responsible: Executive Director, grant writer, and the Board of Directors. Regional Need: Community-based agreement on watershed restoration projects through 2012. o Indicator: For partners and stakeholders, reach written agreement on the primary lead entities for specific stewardship of the Deschutes River Basin and support roles for other entities. In addition: The UDRC will have contacted 50% or 3,100 property owners in the UDRC's 69,000 acre service area regarding defensible spaces, Ready, Set, Go evacuation program, Stewardship of public lands and rivers in the Upper Deschutes Basin. ■ The UDRC will have contacted 90% of river front property owners regarding increased stewardship (using the new UDRC River Stewardship Guide funded by $8,000 grant) of the Upper Deschutes River, Spring River and portions of Fall and Little Deschutes Rivers. Target: Third quarter of 2011. Baseline: The UDRC in January 2011, met with Board members representing 21 communities, Federal, State, County and others to define the future role and responsibilities of the Coalition. Tools: Written agreements between the Coalition and partners. Responsible: Leadership Team. c. Goals: Restoration actions will be accomplished through the following goals and objectives. Goal 1: Support the development of a biomass plants in Central Oregon Objective 1: Biomass Plant, La Pine, Oregon — support the development of a biomass plant that will generate 25 megawatts of energy per hour or enough to power 20,000 homes. The plant will cost $70 million. It will use forest thinning materials from the Coalition's 69,000 acre service area and thinning on private lands of 26,000 acres and USFS lands. The project will create 50-60 construction jobs and 20 workers to run the plant. Objective 2: Biomass Plant, Warm Springs, Oregon — support the development of a biomass plant that will generate 37 megawatts of energy, enough to power about 35,000 homes. The plant will have a long-term economic impact of about $500 million for Oregon and the Warm Springs Area. 190+ full- time jobs including about 30 jobs at the plant, 70 jobs in fuel collection and transportation, 90 indirect jobs and $12 million annual payroll over the 20 year operation of the plant. Objective 3: Biomass Plant, Klamath Falls, Oregon — support the development of a second biomass plant. 3 �UDRC's Primary Role is to catalyze and coordinate its stakeholders The Klamath Falls plant will be equal to the Warm Springs plant with the same job creation and is being developed by the same company as the Warm Springs plant (objective 2). Objective 4: Foreign Capital — support the creation on an Oregon regional office of the Federal EB -5 program to encourage Chinese investors to finance woody biomass projects in Oregon timber towns and other job creation investments in Central Oregon. American Pacific international Capital with Carroll Community investments could create well over 1,000 jobs in remote areas of Oregon and up to 7,000 over the next five to seven years. The UDRC will contact Wilson Chen and State and Federal officials to gain support for a regional EB - 5 center. Goal 2: Collaborate with Deschutes County Forester, State of Oregon Forestry and UDRC stakeholders to obtain funds for increased stewardship in the Deschutes River Basin and fuel reduction on private lands in the UDRC's 69,000 acre service area. Objective 1: UDRC $75,000 sweat equity program — upon release of Deschutes County funds begin phase 2 of the sweat equity program. Home owners clean their lots using Defensible Space guidelines, leave biomass on the road side. The UDRC hires contractors to pick up the biomass and take to two local biomass storage sites as no cost to the homeowner. The biomass is ground and sold to contractors who haul the material to one of four electric generating plants. Objective 2: UDRC $10,000 sweat equity program with the State of Oregon Forestry department. Objective 3: UDRC fuel reduction program with Project Wildfire/Deschutes County Forester. The UDRC will participate in a 2011 FEMA grant for reducing fuels on private property in the Coalition's Community Wildfire Protection Plan area. Amount to be determined. Number of contractors and employees TBD based on funding. Objective 4: Assist in improving the health of public forests by supporting policies on the management of mixed conifer forest, including restoration needs and application. Management of large, old ponderosa trees with mistletoe infestation and restoration of historic spatial distributions — or patchy, groupy, clumpy (technical terms.) Goal 3: Through Board and stakeholder participation raise $44,800 to fund the Coalition through December 31, 2012. Objective 1: Direct mail program — raise $5,000 by personalized direct mail to owners of high market value homes in gated communities close to the defensible space fuel reduction work the Coalition has done (600 lots, 300 acres). Mailing started in April and will be completed in May, 2011. Objective 2: Direct mail program — raise $5,000 by use of a color, 5x8" post card direct mailing to home owners whose property is valued over $250,000 in areas in or close to the Coalition's fuel reduction work. Objective 3: Maintain relationships with State and County officials resulting in continued grants and funding. We have strong support from the State of Oregon Department of Forestry, the Deschutes County Forester and Project Wildfire with statements to the Coalition's Board that they will continue to support the UDRC as it is vital to their own success. Obtain $10,000 new funds from State of Oregon Forestry. Support the restart of the $75,000 from Deschutes County Forestry (sweat equity program). 4 UDRC's Primary Role is to catalyze and coordinate its stakeholders Objective 4: Grants — raise $10,000 by continuing to research grant opportunities and submit grants for capacity building, USFS projects, private land projects and community involvement and education activities. Objective 5: Business Sponsorship program — raise $6,000 from 12 business sponsors in 2011. Retain 80% of 2011 sponsors in 2012, and add ten new sponsors in 2012 resulting in $9,800 in 2012 income. Objective 6: Coalition Board of Directors and Home Owners Associations — raise $5,000 by personal contacts with the Board members and the leadership of home owner associations. Participate in home annual owner meetings and discuss Coalition accomplishments and how they impact the home owners. d. ACTIVITIES: TBD e. OUTCOMES: • Ecological Outcome: Healthy forests with widely spaced big trees, preserving old growth trees, improved collaboration in forest management and mitigating or reducing the risk and danger of forest fires. Indicator: 200 acres or 400 '/2 acre private lots will meet Defensible Space standards next to USFS land hence reducing the threat of wildfire on public lands. A large wildland fire resulting in the closure of US Highway 97 would create an economic loss to business and Central Oregon business in general that would exceed $3.5 million per day, not including other intra and interstate business losses. Target: By 11/2011 the 400 lots will be completed to Defensible Space standards. Baseline: In 2010, The UDRC had two biomass collection sites and the County spent $105,000 for biomass removal using three contractors and nine employees. They removed 1,028 green biomass tons which went to four power generation plants. Tools: UDRC fuel reduction treatment records and maps. Responsible: Vice President, UDRC and Fuels Committee; Contractors Use: Report to funders and UDRC member and stakeholders on the project impact. • Economic Outcome: A collaborative project is approved and implemented on private land adjoining the Bend Ft. Rock Ranger District and local contractors perform defensible space work. Indicator: In 2011, the UDRC will spend $77,661 on the sweat equity program and $44,339 on fuel reduction and hire five contactors employing 20 workers. The economic impact using a 1:5 ratio is $625,000 in Deschutes County with an unemployment rate of 15.1% (2/2011). Target: All work will be completed and paid for by the 411 quarter of 2011. Baseline: In 2010, the UDRC spent $138,000 and hired five contractors employing 20 workers plus $105,000 on two fuel reduction grants using three crews and 12 workers. In 2010, Deschutes County with the UDRC doing the coordination work, spent$155,880 with four contractors with 20 workers who completed 186 lots. The economic value was $1,469,400 using a 1:5 ratio. Tools: UDRC fuel reduction treatment records and maps. Responsible: Vice President, UDRC and Fuels Committee; Contractors Use: Report to funders and UDRC member and stakeholders on the project impact. 5 [ UDRC's Primary Role is to catalyze and coordinate its stakeholders Social Outcome: Diverse UDRC stakeholders work collaboratively to plan strategic fuels reduction and other restoration projects on Bend Ft. Rock Ranger District land and private lands resulting in long term stewardship of resources and potential reduction of wildfires. Indicator: Number of Board, members, partners and stakeholders participating in UDRC meetings and programs. Target: By the 4"` quarter of 2011, the stakeholders will have completed a strategic fuels plan. Baseline: WPE (wildfire prevention efforts) efforts in Florida are statistically negatively related to the number of wildfires of preventable causes. The effects are economically as well as statistically significant, and our economic assessment shows that, based on our equation estimates, the expected benefits in terms of damages averted are 35 times greater than the additional WPE spending needed to avert them (at the margin). Tools: USFS, BLM and Deschutes County Forester reports. Responsible; UDRC Leadership Team with the USFS, BLM and Deschutes County Forester Use: Report to UDRC board, members, partners, and the community. f. GRANT HISTORY: NFF Operating Support Grant — 2008 for $11,000. Purpose: Support of operations, grant writing and road closures on USFS land. The result was funds were used to close five non essential USFS roads, installing signage on USFS land educating the public on use of resources, and grant writing. NFF Collaboration & Capacity -Building Workshop, October 2008 attended by Coalition Vice President. This was an excellent workshop with the NFF staff supporting, instructing, facilitating, and mentoring all 50 + attendees. Sharing successes, discussed strategies, provided much needed technical assistance, non-profit financial management, best practices in watershed and forest restoration, fund raising, meeting the triple bottom line, nuts & bolts on communications, media and marketing, and face-to-face networking with peers throughout the US. NFF Teleconference on Fund Raising — Carl Jansen, President, Jake Keller, VP and Jerry Hubbard, Executive Director, of the UDRC participated in the conference with other regional coalitions. The result was a better understanding of the various ways to engage the board of directors raise funds and move a nonprofit ahead. All three participants thought the program was excellent. NFF Conference Spring 2010 — the NNF sponsored a two day conference with USFS managers and nonprofit managers from the NW region. The result was creation of a white paper on how nonprofits could share resources and Ms. Schmidt and Mr. Hubbard entered into the NFF mentoring program. The challenge was to design and implement programs following the conference and develop new relationships with USFS rangers in the Coalition's service and continue contacts with other nonprofit staff. NFF Stewardship Grant — 2009 for $10,000. Purpose: Two projects on USFS land, one for fish habitat restoration and one for trail work and road closures. Both competed to the USFS satisfaction, on tine and budget. Both projects involved coordination with various USFS managers and field professionals, plus contractors and volunteers. The process was beneficial to the Coalition in that it tightened our relationship with the USFS and provided good PR with local 6 1 l UDRC's Primary Role is to catalyze and coordinate its stakeholders communities. The challenge for Jerry Hubbard, ED, UDRC, as the project manager it stretched him thin but through his knowledge of local contractors he was able to delegate the work with only minimal supervision. NFF Mentoring Grant — 2010 for $2,000 per mentor. Purpose: Jerry Hubbard and Annie Schmidt, Executive Directors of the Upper Deschutes River Coalition and the Chumstick Wildfire Stewardship Coalition entered into a one year mentoring program to share information and nonprofit experiences in managing similar organizations. Result- Annie and Jerry are in the final quarter of the program and believe the weekly meetings over 10 months have been very beneficial in moving both organizations forward. A NFF capacity grant will allow for continued operations and fund raising which will allow continued support of the USFS and other federal agencies that partner with the UDRC.
