Portland vandalism repair grant
The Repair Grant (also branded Restore Grant) from Prosper Portland reimburses Portland small businesses for the cost of repairing exterior, ground-level storefront damage from break-ins and vandalism — broken windows and doors, graffiti, and damaged signs. The program reopened in July 2025 with $1 million in new City funding after distributing more than 1,100 grants totaling close to $4 million across four years. Grants provide up to $25,000 per business over the life of the program, on a reimbursement, first-come-first-served basis, and remain open until funds are exhausted. It is administered by Prosper Portland for the City of Portland.

- Amount range
- Up to $25,000
- Realistic amount
- Awards are tied to documented repair costs and capped at $25,000 cumulative per business. Across four prior years the program distributed close to $4 million over 1,100+ grants — roughly $3,500 per grant on average — so a typical single repair claim is modest (often a few hundred to several thousand dollars), with $25,000 being a lifetime ceiling reached only through repeated or major damage.
- Deadline
- Rolling — open until all available funds are exhausted; reimbursement of damage occurring within six months of application.

~2 hrs
Apply quickly after damage — the program is first-come, first-served and closes when the $1 million runs out, and there's a six-month window from when the expense occurred. Keep the police/incident report and itemized repair receipts together; clean documentation is the difference between a fast reimbursement and a delay.
Deadline & timing
Reopened July 21, 2025 with $1 million in new funding. Applications are handled first-come, first-served and remain open until funds run out. Eligible damage expenses generally must have occurred within six months of the application date.
