Summary
This grant presents an opportunity available to select organizations and institutions nestled within a specific region of the Pacific Northwest. Funds may be directed toward nonprofits, educational institutions, and research-oriented entities, as well as small businesses in certain circumstances. Eligible uses of the award span capital investments, program or staff expansion, start-up research support, equipment and technology enhancements, and early-stage commercialization efforts.
For organizations pursuing growth, capital funding may help cover construction, renovation, or property-related costs. Other awards focus on bolstering capabilities through staffing or program development, often delivered on a declining schedule across several years. For educational settings, support is available to augment newly hired research faculty’s start-up packages, matching institutional contributions up to tens of thousands of dollars. At research universities or biomedical institutes, a modest sum—up to around seventy-five thousand dollars—may support commercialization efforts, provided the host institution matches that amount.
The intent behind the funding is to catalyze transformation—whether by strengthening infrastructure, enabling meaningful expansion of services or programs, advancing scientific inquiry at colleges or universities, or moving research closer to practical application. Grants are typically targeted to those serving community benefit, innovation, or scholarly advancement, with an emphasis on strategic, mission-aligned projects.
Eligibility varies with each category: capacity-building and capital awards generally serve nonprofit-driven organizations; faculty start-up and research incentives are open to private undergraduate institutions within the region; commercialization support is reserved for select research universities or biomedical institutes. Individuals are not eligible except as embedded within institutional roles, such as new faculty appointments.
Grant amounts vary by category—from the tens of thousands for equipment or research start-up, to more substantial sums for program or capital needs. All opportunities are structured to encourage institutional commitment, regional impact, and sustained outcomes, without naming the provider or referencing contact details.
Organizations and individuals based in Washington who are engaged in Arts, Culture, History & Humanities may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity.
