PPF’s Small Grants Program recognizes organizations who are dedicated to increasing the accessibility of our urban parks and nature areas. The Portland Parks Foundation provides support to these organizations who embody our mission; here at PPF “we help people help parks.”
With our small grants, PPF focuses on the people and organizations working to fill gaps in access to parks, so everyone can benefit from the healing and transformative nature of parks. We intentionally prioritize organizations supporting low-income populations, communities of color, and other historically marginalized groups.
This spring, PPF was able to partner with 13 organizations awarding at total of $25,000.
A big thank you to Portland Parks & Recreation for helping to support PPF’s Small Grants Program this year.
