Neighborhood Small Grants

The goal of the neighborhood small grants program is to provide neighborhood and community organizations an opportunity to build community, attract new and diverse members and sustain those already involved. We welcome rough drafts and are happy to help develop your idea. For more information, contact Payal Razdan at payal@swni.org or call 503-823-4592.

Graffiti Abatement Grants

The goal of the graffiti abatement grants program is to support community-driven improvement projects and community building opportunities with an emphasis on graffiti prevention, graffiti abatement and/or addressing locations chronically tagged with graffiti. Many projects may focus on community murals (development, implementation, repair), but the funds are also intended to be available for a broader range of improvement projects that prevent or abate graffiti and support the Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement’s goals.
