Community Enhancement Program

Overview

The Community Enhancement Program (CEP) is an exciting opportunity for citizens to participate in making Sherwood a place where families and businesses thrive.

This program derives its funding from a partnership between Sherwood and Metro and is generated by a $1.00 per ton surcharge collected at the Pride Recycling Company transfer station located at 13980 SW Tualatin-Sherwood Road, in Sherwood, Oregon.

The grant program is open to non-profit groups, organizations, and City advisory committees. We encourage you to let us know your ideas for enhancing the community.

The information and application for the grant program is located below. Please read the grant information to make sure your project qualifies for the program. The application can be filled out electronically by saving the file to your computer. Once you’ve completed the application, submit it by mail or deliver to City Hall, 22560 SW Pine St, Sherwood Oregon 97140, or electronically to finance@sherwoodoregon.gov.

Whether you have big ideas, small ideas, or ideas somewhere in-between, you can be sure they will be considered.
