An Exciting New Opportunity...

Elevate Oregon is thrilled to partner with Oregon Metro and City of Roses Disposal and Recycling to administer a new grant program. The program is funded by an enhancement fee collected on materials brought to the City of Roses facility. This is part of a regional Community Enhancement Program to fund community grants near each of the region's garbage transfer facilities.

The goal of this program is to provide funds to non-profits, schools, and local governments who implement programs, services and community improvements in a designated grant boundary area. Click here to see the City of Roses Enhancement Grant Boundary Area.

Funds can be awarded for projects that provide programs and services to underserved populations, improve neighborhood livability and safety, and improve natural areas and the environment. Click here to learn more about the program goals and types of eligible projects.

The City of Roses Community Enhancement Grant will also empower and equip youth by supporting their ability to self-determine how grant funds get invested back into their community.  A Committee comprised of high school students in the Elevate Oregon program and adult community members will review grant proposals and select grant recipients.
