Opportunity Overview
Open now. The City of Hillsboro is accepting applications for its 2026-2027 Community Services Grant, which supports local nonprofit social-service agencies serving Hillsboro residents.
Funding and Deadline
The City will award a total of $200,000 in fall 2026, with eligible organizations able to request up to $20,000 per project. Applications are due September 15, 2026 at 11:59 PM. The official City page does not state a time zone, so applicants should confirm the application portal clock and submit early.
Who Can Apply
Applicants must be nonprofit 501(c)(3) social-service agencies serving Hillsboro community members. An organization will be considered only if its previously awarded City grants complied with required grant procedures. Different departments within the same organization may no longer submit separate applications.
Priority Areas and Services
Priority funding is given to projects aligned with at least one of three focus areas: Mental & Behavioral Health, Housing Access & Stability, and Early Childhood Education & Childcare. The broader program supports social services that improve the mental or physical condition of Hillsboro residents, including aging, child care, drug and alcohol recovery, early childhood education, family support, housing, mental and physical health, public safety, and vocational rehabilitation.
Application and Reporting
Applications are submitted through ZoomGrants. Grant requests may cover project and activity types that provide social services to Hillsboro residents. Awards of $3,000 or more require a six-month progress report to remain eligible for future funding. The official program page does not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement.
Atlas Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 86/100. This is a strong local health, behavioral-health, and early-childhood funding opportunity with a verified $200,000 pool and a clear $20,000 applicant cap. The near-term deadline limits the practical window for new applicant development.
N9+ Fit Score: 8/100. Physical and mental health services are within the program’s broad social-service scope, but the City does not establish N9+ devices, remote physical examinations, connected diagnostics, or telehealth technology as eligible costs. Any technology component must be independently justified and verified before budgeting.
