Funding Opportunities for Stronger Worker Protection in Washington (USA)
GrantID: 74883
Grant Funding Amount Low: $100,000
Deadline: September 30, 2025
Grant Amount High: $500,000
Summary
In one region of the country, funding has been set aside to strengthen workplace health and safety for people who are often exposed to changing environmental conditions. This opportunity was created with a large financial commitment of about ten million dollars, intended to be distributed over a set funding period. The program was designed to ensure that those most affected by heat, smoke, drought, and other climate-related challenges have the tools and resources needed to work more safely and remain healthy.
The funding is structured in several ways to meet different needs. Some awards are set aside for community-based groups, with individual grants ranging from one hundred thousand to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. A handful of these grants will be awarded during each cycle. In addition, a portion of the funds, close to half a million dollars, is reserved for groups that will serve as pass-through organizations, helping smaller partners or subrecipients benefit from this opportunity. A further share, around two million dollars, is reserved for tribal communities, ensuring that they have dedicated resources for supplies such as protective equipment, hydration tools, and other health-related items.
Nonprofit organizations, particularly those working with outdoor or agricultural workers, are the primary applicants for this funding. Small organizations rooted in the community are encouraged to apply, and federally recognized tribal entities are given direct access to a portion of the funds without needing to compete. While individuals and businesses are not direct applicants, they may benefit through the supplies and support made available by the funded organizations.
This opportunity is open within a specific state in the Pacific Northwest and follows a biennial cycle, meaning funds are distributed every two years. The intent is to continue offering resources on an ongoing basis as long as appropriations remain available, ensuring long-term support for workplace safety in vulnerable communities.
If you are located in Washington and working in the area of Climate Change, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
