Metro is accepting grant applications until October 5.
Metro, the Portland area regional government, is accepting applications beginning Aug. 9 through Oct. 4 at noon. Community Placemaking grants support arts and culture based, community-led, equity-centered efforts that strengthen people’s connections to each other and places they care about. Up to $450,000 in grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 will be awarded for the 2025 cycle. No matching funds are required. Learn more on the how to apply page or contact the grant manager at [email protected].
Strong proposals are grounded in racial equity and address a critical community challenge or opportunity. Get started by reading the application handbook and looking over past recipients to understand the range of efforts supported. Staff is available to help you think through your proposal and get ready to submit a strong application. Learn more and ask questions at an upcoming info session.
