Portland Recycles!

Portland Recycles! offers $25,000 in small grants for waste prevention and recycling

We received 70 applications and granted funds to 21 organizations. Click here to find out who received funds and learn more about their projects. 

Do you belong to a neighborhood association, nonprofit organization, ethnic group, school, or community of faith that is committed to recycling and waste prevention?  Have you been looking for some additional resources to support or expand your green efforts?  If so, your organization may be eligible to receive a grant from the City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability.

The goal is to offer grant money to neighborhood, community and nonprofit organizations for projects or items that will help them overcome barriers to waste prevention and increase recycling while educating the community.

Grant amounts range from $500 to $2,500. The total amount of funding available is $25,000. Grants will be awarded through a competitive process. 

Program funding is part of an initiative of the Portland Recycles! Plan for outreach and education around increased waste prevention and recycling in the Portland community.
