In December 2025, the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners approved Budget Modification-002-26, allocating $75,000 in one-time-only funds to support community organizations not currently contracted with the County. This funding opportunity, known as the Multnomah Sanctuary Fund, is intended to address the unique needs of underserved, culturally specific groups impacted by federal immigration enforcement activities. The program prioritizes equitable distribution across diverse linguistic, ethnic and cultural communities, especially those that have not recently received similar emergency government funding.

Application deadline: February 18, 2026
