W h at the Community Green Infrastructure Program Funds The Community Green Infrastructure Program (CGI) supports projects that bring green infrastructure into Oregon communities.
This includes: Planting or building green infrastructure that benefits people and ecosystems Growing and supplying native plants and seeds Creating green infrastructure master plans Green infrastructure consists of nature-based systems that increase community resilience by managing stormwater, reducing heat, restoring landscapes, and providing a wide array of other benefits.
Examples of green infrastructure include trees, rain gardens, bioswales, and green roofs. There are four grant categories: What Makes a Strong Application?
Plant large, low-maintenance, drought and storm-resistant trees Use native and pollinator-friendly plants Add new green infrastructure in areas that don’t have it Plant trees near schools, affordable housing, senior housing, or manufactured dwelling parks Help implement a city’s plan to increase urban tree canopy cover Are publicly accessible , such as in public open space or along public streets See the “Program Priorities” section in the Call for Applications for more information.
Funding Priorities and Limitations For this round of funding, the majority, or likely all, of the funds will go to projects that will help the CGI Program meet the required fund allocations. See the "Fund Allocation Areas" drop-down section .
Projects that are not, 1) in the Green Infrastructure Economic Development category; 2) in a Green Infrastructure Improvement Zone ; and/or 3) in a tribal, rural, remote, or coastal community have a very low chance of being funded. Applications in the Native Seed Bank and Native Plant Nursery category will only be accepted if the project or grantee is located in a Green Infrastructure Improvement Zone.
Please contact CGI program staff if you have questions about this eligibility requirement. Applications in the Green Infrastructure Master Plan category will only be accepted if the plan is for an area that is entirely in a Green Infrastructure Improvement Zone. Because of the complexity of determining if a proposed plan is in this zone, applicants are required to have a pre-application meeting with CGI staff.
