We’re so excited to hear about your idea that makes Portland more awesome!
- We fund art, culture, community, environmental, animal welfare & human rights projects
- Projects must be in the Portland metro region
- We mostly fund projects run by individuals or small groups who don't have access to traditional funding mechanisms
- We LOVE innovative, fun, and/or unusual projects!
While we think you’re awesome, we don’t give grants for personal use like rent or bills, travel, or starting a business. How does your project make Portland more awesome?
