Green Investment Fund (GIF)

Please note: Funds for the Green Investment Fund have all been allocated. Should we create another grant fund information will be posted here.

The Green Investment Fund (GIF) is a competitive grant program that supports innovative green building projects in Portland. In the current round of funding, a total of $425,000 is available and the maximum grant amount for any project is $425,000. Public and private industrial, multifamily residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects may apply. 

The primary intent of the GIF is to support early building and site-related project activities that examine the potential and identify the means to realize an exemplary, comprehensive green building project. GIF grants are secondarily intended to help offset the incremental hard costs of the green building measures or strategies that most strongly contribute to the building’s ability to meet the GIF goals and priorities.

The Green Investment Fund is sponsored by the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services, Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, Water Bureau and Energy Trust of Oregon, Inc.
