Description
The City of Forest Grove Community Enhancement Grant is funded from the Metro Community Enhancement (CEP) funds paid to the City of Forest Grove based on fees for each ton of solid waste collected from the Forest Grove Transfer Station. This year, the City is issuing four, one-year $20,000 grant opportunities designed to provide funding to a nonprofit organization for a project or program that makes a sustained, targeted impact in a priority area of community concern.
Nonprofit organizations are invited to apply for Community Enhancement Grant funds with proposals for projects or programs that emphasize direct services, innovation and creativity, measurable outcomes, financial sustainability, collaboration with community partners, and other criteria.
Grant recipients are decided through the Community Enhancement Program Committee
