March 26, 2024 — The Wilsonville Parks and Recreation Department is now accepting applicants for the Community Opportunity Grant, which provides funding for local organizations  to support a wide array of projects that benefit community groups, residents and visitors to Wilsonville.

Each year, the Community Opportunity Grant Program allocates $25,000 funding from the City’s general fund to support a wide range of local programs and projects that promote education, diversity, arts or community involvement and/or programs that benefit youth or older adults. Program funds are disbursed twice yearly, each spring and fall.

This year’s spring application deadline has been extended to April 19. Qualified proposals are scheduled for review by the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board on May 2.

Recent grant recipients have supported Skate Jam 2023, Wilsonville Little League, and the Wilsonville Wildcats softball. 

To review guidelines, begin the application, or learn more about the program, visit WilsonvilleParksandRec.com/GrantPrograms or contact Brian Stevenson, Program Manager, at 503-570-1523, stevenson@ci.wilsonville.or.us.
