Clackamas County Small Grants Program Applications due August 23
The Board of County Commissioners’ Small Grants Program application process is only open for two more weeks! This important program assists local nonprofits that provide services to vulnerable populations living within the county. A total of $250,000 will be distributed.
Preference for organizations receiving grants will be given to groups that:
- Serve the county’s designated Community Prosperity Collaborative areas (around North Clackamas, Canby, Estacada);
- Prioritize clear onetime expenses;
- Encourage partnerships to increase community impact;
- Fill an unanticipated expense gap due to COVID-19; and
- Serve communities of color that are impacted by COVID-19, as those communities are have been especially impacted.
In the past, groups receiving grants serve populations such as seniors, housing-insecure individuals, veterans in need, families of cancer-stricken children, at-risk youth, the developmentally disabled, hungry persons and many more.
Eligible applicants are current nonprofit organizations serving residents of the county. Eligible projects must address the program’s goal and result in a positive, measurable outcome for residents.
