What Your Membership Supports City Club isn’t just throwing events. We’re building a destination downtown.

Your membership fuels the bigger vision:

Major Revitalization Projects — from boutique hotels and permanent lighting to pedestrian upgrades and public art installations.
Expanded Events & Tourism — drawing visitors from across the region with signature experiences that keep them shopping, dining, and returning.
Grant Funding & Leverage — we use your support to unlock state-level Main Street grants, private sponsorships, and outside investment.
Business Growth Infrastructure — from improved signage and wayfinding to potential shared services, incubator space, and support programs.
A Competitive, Connected Downtown — positioned to attract the next big opportunity, whether it's a new anchor business or international attention.

We’re creating a Main Street that works for business. But it takes vision, hustle — and your support. This is your moment to help shape what downtown becomes.

What Your Membership Makes Possible

Your support isn’t symbolic — it’s transformational.

Here’s what your City Club membership helps fund and grow:

Streetscape & Infrastructure Upgrades: Your dues help fund matching grants and planning work for crosswalks, lighting, sidewalks, seating, bike racks, and accessibility features.
Public Art & Beautification: From murals to sculpture walks and seasonal displays — your support makes downtown more vibrant, welcoming, and Instagram-worthy.
Signature Events & Festivals: Every parade, market, or block party we grow brings more foot traffic and pride — because you helped make it happen.
State & Private Grant Leverage: We use membership dollars to unlock larger funding. Every $1 you give helps us access $4–$10 in outside investment.
Support for Local Businesses: From shared marketing to small business workshops and pop-up support — your membership fuels local growth.
National Recognition & Outreach: You help us represent Forest Grove as a model small city — gaining attention from statewide leaders.
Volunteer Mobilization & Community Voice: We organize the doers — and advocate for a downtown that reflects your values, your history, and your hopes.
