2018 Grant Projects
My Story Project
We awarded $11,000 in grants to four community groups and organizations that will engage diverse neighbors in 2018. We are grateful the City of Portland’s Office of Neighborhood Involvement (ONI) invested $9,330 and CNN $1,670. More significantly $150,000 in donations and other contributions will be leveraged by the four grantees to accomplish community building goals. Grants range from $2000 to $3000.
