1) North Portland Neighborhood Services Small Grants Program 2013

Does your neighborhood project need funding?

The North Portland Neighborhood Services Small Grants Program (NPNSG) is a grant provided by the City of Portland, distributed by the Office of Neighborhood Involvement (ONI) and administered by NPNS. The goal of  the program is to provide neighborhood and community organizations the opportunity to build community, attract new and diverse members, and sustain those already involved. The creation of this grant program allows a wide variety of community projects to be funded and implemented each year.

NPNS will be distributing approximately $20,000 total for community projects to be completed by December 2013. Grant application and selection will be administered by NPNSG committee members, made up of seven North Portland residents, in early 2013.

NPNS application form and instructions are available at: http://www.portlandonline.com/oni/index.cfm?c=53475&

Or printed copies are available from North Portland Neighborhood Services, 2209 N. Schofield St. 503.823.0215.

Application Due Date: No later than 2:00 p.m., Thursday, January 31, 2013.
