Outside Agencies Grant Program
*** GRANT APPLICATIONS CLOSED FOR FY 2023-24
Giving back to the community is a core value for the Tualatin City Council. One of the ways they achieve this is by actively supporting agencies that address social needs and contribute to the enrichment, improvement, and enhancement of life in Tualatin.
The Outside Agency Grant Program provides financial support to charitable non-profit agencies that align with the City Council’s 2030 Vision to be:
- An INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY that promotes equity, diversity, and access in creating a meaningful quality of life for everyone
- A CONNECTED, INFORMED, and civically ENGAGED community that embraces our City's diversity
- A thriving and diversified ECONOMY that includes living wage jobs, increased tourism, and sustained financial stability for the whole city
- Safe, vibrant, and accessible GATHERING PLACES throughout the city that build and celebrate our whole community
- An efficient, accessible, innovative, sustainable, and connected TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM that effectively and safely meets the needs of our entire community
- Safe, desirable, welcoming, and sustainable NEIGHBORHOODS with housing that is available for all
- An ENVIRONMENTALLY active, sustainable, responsible, and forward-thinking community that values and protects our natural resources, inhabitants, and habitat
By channeling financial resources into these areas, Tualatin believes we can make a lasting and positive impact on the lives of all Tualatin residents. Together with our community partners, we are committed to building a stronger, more inclusive, and sustainable future for Tualatin.
