The Portland Harbor program invites community members to serve on this year's Grant Review Committee. Portlanders who represent communities disproportionately affected by the contamination and cleanup are strongly encouraged to submit a form. Disproportionately affected communities include Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC); people with current, traditional or cultural connections to this stretch of the river; people who eat non-migratory shellfish and fish like carp, catfish, and bass caught in Portland Harbor; and housed and unhoused residents who live in neighborhoods near the Superfund site.

The panel will determine who receives grant funds this cycle based on their evaluation of proposals, conversations with selected applicants, and a consensus-based deliberation process.

Panelists must have scheduling flexibility for the following dates in 2025:
  • February 4
  • March 4
  • March 5
  • March 6
  • March 11
  • March 12
  • March 13
  • March 18

Interest forms are due 5 p.m., January 22, 2025.
