Community Fund

Students testing the strength of their bridge project at a high school engineering event at the port in 2012

The port has established a new community fund program to support projects and programs that align with the port’s focus on trade promotion, tourism generation, economic development and workforce development.

The port has budgeted $5,000 for the inaugural year of the program. Through a competitive application process, the port will award funds to one or more projects that meet program goals and are located within the port district boundaries.

The program overview and application are currently available and submissions are due by February 7, 2020.  Recipients have one year to spend the funds from the time of award.

The port plans to announce award recipients no later than February 28, 2020.  Once notified, successful applicants will be listed here.
