This Spring, PPF received over 20 applications for our Small Grants, a grant program aimed at benefiting programs, projects, and general operations of local organizations bringing communities to parks and improving our parks. This cycle 12 organizations each received a $2,000 grant thanks to partial funding from Portland Parks & Recreation’s Community Partnership Fund and a generous bequest from Nancy Hebb Freeman. You can read more about our Small Grants program here.
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.
Congratulations to all of our recipients! We’re excited to partner with you and make Portland’s parks and green spaces more accessible, more exciting, and more deeply appreciated.
