Graffiti Abatement Grants

The goal of the graffiti abatement grants program is to support community-driven improvement projects and community building opportunities with an emphasis on graffiti prevention, graffiti abatement and/or addressing locations chronically tagged with graffiti. Many projects may focus on community murals (development, implementation, repair), but the funds are also intended to be available for a broader range of improvement projects that prevent or abate graffiti and support the Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement’s goals. Funding for this program was not included in the City of Portland budget this fiscal year.
