Community Opportunity Grant Awards Now Available

August 30, 2018 – Wilsonville Parks and Recreation is accepting Community Opportunity Grant applications through Friday, September 28.

Each year, the City distributes $25,000 in Community Opportunity Grant awards from its general fund to provide funding for a wide range of local programs and projects in Wilsonville. Successful proposals advance education, diversity, arts or community involvement. Applications are available online at WilsonvilleParksandRec.com/GrantPrograms.

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board reviews applications and awards $12,500 in grant funding twice annually. Incoming applications are scheduled to be reviewed at the board’s October 11 meeting.

During the most recent funding cycle, in April, grants were awarded in support of programs at Inza Wood Middle School, Wilsonville Little League, West Linn-Wilsonville Music and Arts Partners, World of Speed Motorsports Museum and the Charbonneau Arts Association.

For more information, contact Brian Stevenson, Program Manager, at 503-570-1523, stevenson@ci.wilsonville.or.us.
