NATURE IN NEIGHBORHOODS COMMUNITY GRANTS 2021 community stewardship and restoration grants
For nearly two decades, Metro has provided grants for conservation, stewardship, nature education and other programs and projects that connect people to nature and respond to community innovations. Metro’s investments in improving urban ecology, restoring habitat, addressing inequities in the conservation movement, and enhancing economic opportunities and connection back to land for communities of color continues, thanks to the voters’ renewal of Metro’s five-year parks and natural areas levy in 2016 and 2022.
Funding for the 2023 community stewardship and restoration grants funding cycle is set at $750,000. The final slate of proposals recommended for funding will include a mix of small, medium, and large grants. Small grants have a maximum award of $50,000, medium grants have a maximum award of $75,000, and large grants have a maximum award of $100,000. These grants are currently offered every other year; this is the first community stewardship and restoration grant opportunity of the 2022 levy renewal.
Please see the 2023 Nature in Neighborhoods community stewardship and restoration handbook on the Nature in Neighborhoods website for guidance and details.
