New City of Portland program provides $200,000 in Neighborhood Small Grants
Applications being accepted for Portland Neighborhood Small Grants through seven District Coalition offices
The City of Portland, Office of Neighborhood Involvement and seven district coalitions announce a new Neighborhood Small Grants Program with $200,000 available to neighborhood and community-based organizations. Proposals will be due no later than 4:00 PM, Wednesday, November 1, 2006.
More information can be found at www.portlandonline.com/oni
Goal of this grants program:
The grants program is intended to support neighborhood and community-based organizations as an opportunity to build their organizational capacity, attract new and diverse membership, and sustain those already involved in their organizations.
Specific criteria requirements listed at: http://www.portlandonline.com/oni/index.cfm?c=43121&
Projects are encouraged to:
• Establish partnerships amongst neighborhood associations and other under-represented community-based organizations;
• Provide opportunities for under-represented communities to become engaged in the neighborhood system; and
• Result in re-invigorating community participation and implementation activities associated with VisionPDX (the effort in which residents are invited to help envision Portland 20 years from now.)
Grants administered by seven district coalitions:
The grants program is being administered through the seven neighborhood district coalitions funded by the Office of Neighborhood Involvement. Applicants will need to choose a neighborhood district coalition to submit proposals to depending on whether the project benefits the residents residing within that coalition's geographical area. Each Coalition has been allocated a percentage of total funds based upon a formula that considers the number of neighborhood associations and relative income levels. Each District Coalition has been allocated the following amount. Each Coalition will have a grant-making committee made up of district coalition and/or neighborhood association, business community and under-represented community non-profit leaders. They may utilize up to a 15% fee to administer their grants:
• Central Northeast Coalition of Neighbors, $15,113
• East Portland Neighborhood Office, $37,724
• Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods, $25,371
• North Portland Neighborhood Services, $22,149
• Neighbors West Northwest, $25,355
• Southeast Uplift Neighborhood Program, $49,148
• Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc., $25,140
How can I get an application form:
We encourage you to directly contact the district coalition you are interested in submitting an application to. All the applications will be posted on the ONI website. Several coalitions are still finalizing their application forms, which should be completed and posted on the ONI website by September 14.
