Program Goals

Cultural Events Grant Committee

Give back to your community by serving on the Cultural Events Grant Committee!

  • The committee reviews applications to determine which projects and events are funded by the grant.
  • The commitment is minimal: Read through and score applications at home, and attend one evening City Hall meeting to review all the scores and finalize decisions. No experience required.
  • If you are interested in volunteering for the committee, please contact Anna Snyder at Anna.Snyder@GreshamOregon.gov or  971-930-5411.
