We’re thrilled to announce we have been awarded $300,000 in grant funding through the @visitbend Sustainability Fund! This will support the Miller's Landing Access and Restoration Project.

The Bend Sustainability Fund has awarded $691,672 to 8 projects shaping Bend’s sustainable future.

Your participation in the community ballot played a crucial role in determining the allocation of funds for this year’s pool of submitted projects—the collective input was taken into consideration during the funding decision-making process.

Since its inception in 2021, the Bend Sustainability Fund has awarded $3 million in grant funding. Each of these projects focuses on creating, stewarding, and protecting sustainable experiences in Bend and the surrounding areas.
