The City is accepting applications for the 2024 Green Grants program through May 13, 2024. This year, the program has $5,000 available for small dollar grants to make sustainable improvements related to recycling, green space, energy efficiency, active transportation, water conservation, community gardens, and other topics from the Corvallis Climate Action Plan.
The funds may be used by applicants for programs and projects that address the community actions in the Corvallis Climate Action Plan.
Application Evaluation Criteria
Projects will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
- That the proposed project addresses strategies detailed in the Corvallis Climate Action Plan.
- The impact on the community. Projects with larger impacts on climate change or on a larger number of households or individuals will be more favorably reviewed. Note: Projects that benefit one individual or household will not be considered.
- The feasibility of the project and on time completion. All projects must be completed by December 31, 2024.
Who Can Apply
Only projects located within the Corvallis city limits are eligible for funding. There is no restriction on who can apply for these funds. Eligible applicants can be individuals, neighborhood associations, non-profits, community organizations, or businesses. However, applicants should keep in mind that projects are preferred that benefit a wider array of a neighborhood or the community, not only an individual or household.

Green Grants applications are now being accepted. To apply, complete the application and return, along with any necessary supplementary material, to the City Manager’s Office by end of day May 13th.
