Description  [hide this]

Thank you for your interest in the City of Beaverton’s social services funding grant program. Beaverton’s proposed 2021-22 budget contains state revenue sharing funds to enable social service providers to meet the needs of Beaverton residents through locally relevant social services. The estimated budget for the upcoming grant cycle is approximately $276,000. This figure will not be final until the city council has adopted the 2021-2022 budget.

Beaverton’s social services funding grant program defines social services as projects that address community needs and target the root causes of poverty. The city council has advised the committee to direct funding to organizations that meet one of the following city priorities:

  • Homelessness/Housing (shelters, rental assistance, tenant education/ advocacy, senior housing, & workforce training) 
  • Affordable afterschool & educational programming (childcare, academic support, English language learner education)
  • Health (school-based health clinics, affordable access to medical/dental care, mental health, hunger/food/nutrition).

Applicants may be invited to make a five-minute presentation to the social services funding committee followed by a ten-minute question and answer session. Committee members will rank applications and make a funding recommendation to Beaverton City Council. Organizations recieving grants will be announced in the first week of June, after council approval.

General Requirements

Once annually, two competitive funding opportunities are open here in ZoomGrants: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Social Service Grants.
These two opportunities brought forward by the City of Beaverton with community partners in mind are funded, managed, and audited by different departments and their timelines will NOT reliably run at the same time of year. Please be sure you are applying to the grant that BEST suits your organization's needs and meets ALL eligibility requirements. Please also note, no candidate who applies for BOTH of the two above grant opportunities will be funded by both.
Last note, within the CDBG there are often several program areas funded. In order to apply to those, applicants must attend an annual mandatory informational session generally schedule for December of January. For your information, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a federal program administered and funded through the Office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The city is funded annually with CDBG funds to be used for eligible activities falling under national objectives to serve income eligible persons that live within the legal boundaries of the City of Beaverton. The city chooses to provide its CDBG services through vetted nonprofits using an annual funding process.
In general, the city supports funding homeless shelters/services, homeless prevention, youth and family programs, other public services, lowering the cost of homeownership, critical needs housing repair and disability adaptation and micro-enterprise business development.
