Portland Parks & Recreation is accepting statements of interest from individuals, groups, clubs, and organizations for free or discounted space at the Community Music Center and other community and art centers between June 15, 2024 and June 30, 2025.

PP&R is also accepting interest for Service Contract Agreement Partnerships to begin between June 15, 2024 and June 30, 2025. 

Proposals will be reviewed as they are received, and must be submitted by April 7, 11:59 pm.

Space Use and Service Contract Partnerships will be given to those who best demonstrate in their proposal how the project or program will serve communities who are underserved, specifically:

• Black People, Indigenous People, or People of Color,
• Immigrants and Refugees,
• People earning low income,
• Teens,
• Seniors,
• People living with disabilities,
• LGBTQIA+ communities.

Proposals will be evaluated by a panel of subject matter experts from PP&R and the community. Initial awardees will be notified before May 15, 2024.

For the last two years, CMC has been offering grants for space use through its own grant application process. This year the process is merged with PP&R’s grant process. 

This opportunity is made possible through the Parks Local Option Levy.

Apply here by April 7, 2024.

See the Community Partnership Program website for further information.
