Community Innovation Fund (CIF) Projects
Since it's inception in 2020, the Rethink Waste Project's Community Innovation Fund has awarded more than $94K to 35 projects that reduce waste in Deschutes County.
Applications are now open for the 2025 funding cycle! See the CIF page for more info or apply.
We want to give a big thanks to our partners – Deschutes County Solid Waste and City of Bend – with additional support from Cascade Disposal and Republic Services that make CIF possible.
