The Community Center Friends and the City of Port Orford are pleased to announce that two grant applications for renovation of the community building and the American Legion Hall have been submitted to private foundations.
They are:
$50,000 to T-Mobile
$20,000 to Oregon Community Foundation.
And so we begin the work of raising the $400,000 needed to complete the renovation. Just $400,000, so let’s get going
everyone. We can do this!
Our Committee, always working with City Administrator Melissa Radcliffe, will submit two or three more grant applications. In addition, we will meet with folks who may want to make a donation to the project, and we will put on some local fundraising events like Family Fun Day at Buffington Park on September 14.
We expect the renovation to begin January 2025 with the goal of opening a community center we can all be proud of—one that is safe, handsome, and fully functional. If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution that will go only toward the renovation,
send it to RCPO Community Service Fund, POB 1284, Port Orford 97465 (memo line- Community Center).
