1) Community-building grants available
The Overlook Neighborhood Association will oversee grant-selection in the neighborhood for the North Portland Trust Fund. NPTF grants are for community placemaking projects. OKNA may award up to $2,5000 for projects that primarily serve the Overlook community.
A City Resolution passed in 1989 established the NPTF to capture a portion of revenue collected by the Portland International Raceway (PIR) at events requiring a noise variance. North Portland Neighborhood Services (NPNS) administers the community enhancement grant program. The return of IndyCar to PIR in 2018 brought the first major contribution from promoter Green Savoree in over a decade.
The deadline to apply for a grant is 2 p.m. on May 15. Learn more about the NPTF grants and how to apply online.
Applicants also are encouraged to attend an upcoming grant application workshop at the Historic Kenton Firehouse on Sunday, April 13, 10:30-noon or Monday, April 22, 7-8:30 p.m.
