St. Helens City Council Awards Grants to Local Non-Profits
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 18, 2022
St. Helens, Ore. – The St. Helens City Council awarded four local non-profits with small grants totaling $2,084.70 on Wednesday, February 16, 2022. The grants are part of a bi-annual process for the City to review funding requests from local non-profit organizations that directly support the St. Helens community.
The City Council was able to fulfill partial or full grant requests for four of the six applications received. Funding recipients include:
- Columbia Community Mental Health ($684.70) for Team H.O.W. Jordan Center Outreach for homeless, mental health, addiction, and domestic violence services
- Community Emergency Response Team ($500) for miscellaneous supplies to assist with emergency response situations
- Riverside Community Outreach ($400) for a foster family appreciation event
- United Way of Columbia County ($500) for the Columbia County chapter of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library
At its Wednesday, February 16 meeting, the St. Helens City Council decided to update the grant process from a bi-annual review to once a year. Grant applications will now be reviewed in January of each year. The City Council hopes to have more funding available to offer non-profits by reviewing applications once a year, midway through the City’s budget cycle.
