Applications for City of Corvallis Green Grants Program Opening Soon

February 1, 2023 – A one-time Green Grants program from the City of Corvallis will be accepting applications in the month of February. The program will make available $15,000 in small cash grants to fund projects around the community that focus on climate change mitigation or adaptation. The grant program is encouraging applicants to focus on one of the community strategies in the Corvallis Climate Action Plan.

The Green Grants program was established by the Corvallis City Council in 2022 to encourage neighborhood and community organizations and small businesses to explore climate-related investments.

“I am very excited to see what the community proposes for these Green Grants,” said Councilor Charlyn Ellis. “It’s an excellent chance for the community to work with the City to implement our Climate Action Plan.”

Anyone can apply for a green grant, though some restrictions and guidelines may apply. Visit www.corvallisoregon.gov/greengrants to learn more.

Applications will be accepted from February 8 to February 28, 2023 with grant funding expected to be distributed a few months later.

This is a competitive grant program. Applications will be reviewed by the Climate Action Policy Advisory Board, and selected grants will be awarded by the City Council. Successful applications will demonstrate support from the Corvallis community through volunteers, matching funds, or in-kind support.

Starting on Feb. 8, potential applicants are encouraged to visit www.corvallisoregon.gov/greengrants to apply online or download an application packet. Applications must be received by midnight on February 28, 2023 for this grant cycle.
