The Materials Management grant program is on pause in 2021, and will not be awarding grants. The goal is to streamline the grant process and establish funding priorities that align with the 2050 Vision and Framework for Action. This will allow the program to better serve current grantees and enhance transparency and accessibility in future grant cycles. An update will be posted as soon as the next grant cycle is known. Thank you for your patience as the program does this important work. We look forward to working with you when the grant program resumes.
If you have questions, please contact Marie Diodati, Materials Management Grants Coordinator, 503-229-5446.

Community of DEQ Materials Management grantees
DEQ wants to support the community of past grant recipients. Sharing lessons learned, challenges and accomplishments are keys to learn from our peers and build off of their accomplishments. We are all working towards common goals of preventing and reducing waste generation. Here are a couple of project examples from previous Materials Management grant cycles:
- The Rethink Waste Project of The Environmental Center in Bend:
- The Bureau of Planning and Sustainability from the City of Portland and their Deconstruction Grant project
The goals of the project was to increase deconstruction as an alternative to mechanical demolition, build capacity within the salvage industry, promote community awareness of deconstruction and collect and share project data and case studies.
