GrantID: 75026
Grant Funding Amount Low: $25,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $100,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support nonprofit, tribal, governmental, and school district organizations within select counties and a specific city in Washington state. The aim is to invest in projects that advance community well-being, especially in places where the funding organization has physical branch presence.
The funds are intended to back initiatives in several priority areas: community support services, housing and homelessness efforts, economic development, and broader community development. Projects that propose to strengthen infrastructure, affordable housing access, job creation, or social services are especially aligned.
Eligible applicants include tax-exempt nonprofit organizations, government agencies, school districts, and tribal entities operating within the service region. Fiscal sponsorships are typically allowed if the sponsoring entity meets eligibility criteria and takes responsibility for project administration. Individuals and for-profit businesses are generally not eligible under this program.
Grant amounts depend on the focus area and scale of the project. Community support proposals often receive modest to mid-level funding (e.g. several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars). More complex community development, economic development, or housing projects may receive larger awards (potentially up to six figures), depending on the size of the project, leverage from other funders, and demonstrated impact.
Applications are accepted on a semiannual basis, with a spring cycle and a fall cycle. Prospective applicants should watch for the opening dates (for example, applications open on January 1 for the spring cycle) and plan to submit before the published deadline (e.g. early March). Awards are typically determined several months after application deadlines.
Overall, this grant offers a valuable opportunity for regionally based organizations to access capital to advance critical community projects, build capacity, and address local challenges. If your organization is located in one of the eligible counties or city and works in one of the priority funding areas, this may be a strong match to explore.
