Issuer: Metro (Oregon)
Current status: Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
Funding: Sponsorship awards are typically $500 to $2,500. Requests above that range may be submitted, but Metro asks applicants to include sponsorship benefits within the standard $500 to $2,500 range.
Eligible applicants: Nonprofit organizations. Metro notes that recent sponsorships have included culturally specific community-based organizations, educational institutions, local governments and special districts, and business associations.
Supported activities: Community programs, activities, events, and projects that benefit the public, engage diverse residents and businesses, address inequities, and align with Metro’s mission and work programs. Funds generally cannot support ongoing operations, retroactive costs, political campaigns, lobbying, religious-viewpoint promotion, for-profit organizations, or individuals.
Application: Rolling sponsorship request process; Metro states review takes approximately six weeks.
ATLAS VERIFICATION HOLD: Current authoritative public materials establish eligibility, typical sponsorship size, allowable-purpose framework, and rolling status, but do not explicitly establish whether applicant match or cost share is required. Keep Draft. Resolve match/cost-share terms before publication, applicant qualification, or outreach.
