Parks Board Awards Community Opportunity Grants to Two Organizations

October 21, 2019 — Each year, the City of Wilsonville provides $25,000 in Community Opportunity Grants to support organizations that promote education, diversity, arts or community involvement in Wilsonville.

The first of two award cycles for the 2019-20 fiscal year was completed at the Oct. 10 meeting of the Parks & Recreation Board. The board has awarded grants to two local programs:

  • Charbonneau Arts Association received $4,610 for new gallery displays to showcase art at the annual Charbonneau Festival of Arts.
  • I-5 Connection, a community choral group, received $4,600 to support two upcoming concerts.

Community organizations can apply for the second cycle of 2019-20 Community Opportunity Grant awards in early 2020; funds are scheduled to be awarded at the April 9, 2020, meeting of the Parks & Recreation Board.
