Announcing PPF’s Spring 2024
Small Grant Recipients
The Portland Parks Foundation mobilizes support to improve Portland’s system of parks, natural areas, and public spaces. One of the ways we do this is through our Small Grants program. PPF’s offers small grants of $2,000 each to support programs, projects, and general operations of local organizations who foster equitable access to our urban parks, natural areas, community gardens and community recreation centers.
This spring, PPF is able to support 13 organizations whose work spans the city and creatively addresses various gaps in current programming and services found in our communities thanks to partial funding from PP&R’s Community Partnership Program and a generous bequest from Nancy Hebb Freeman.
We encourage you to learn more about each of these organizations and their diverse approaches to making Portland thrive. You can find them in activating and cleaning up neighborhood parks, distributing food through community gardens and orchards, educating youth on trails and in natural areas, and team building through collective movement and creativity.
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.
