Summary
There are a variety of grant opportunities aimed at supporting community-driven initiatives, environmental stewardship, and equitable development. These grants are designed to help nonprofit organizations, community groups, Tribal governments, public agencies, schools, and individuals with fiscal sponsorship pursue projects that strengthen neighborhoods, increase access to nature, and foster civic engagement.
Some grants focus on creative and cultural projects, encouraging social connection, cultural expression, and inclusive participation within communities. Others emphasize civic leadership, environmental justice, housing, and transportation issues, helping organizations build capacity and engage residents in meaningful ways.
Larger-scale grants support transformative, multi-year projects with long-term impact, such as habitat restoration, improvements to public spaces, climate resilience initiatives, large-scale public art, and multi-partner collaborations. These projects are expected to involve extensive community engagement and create outcomes that benefit diverse populations, particularly those historically underserved or excluded from decision-making processes.
The intended use of funds is broad and flexible, enabling applicants to pursue projects in areas like neighborhood enhancement, environmental conservation, education and outreach, recreational programming, and community-centered design. The grants aim to empower locally led efforts that improve livability, strengthen community cohesion, and foster sustainability, all while aligning with Metro’s overall mission of creating a vibrant, equitable, and resilient region.
