Summary

A state agency in the Pacific Northwest is offering several funding opportunities aimed at supporting community growth, local planning, and equitable development. These grants are available across Washington State and are intended to help local governments, nonprofit organizations, tribal entities, and community-based groups strengthen their capacity to serve residents and build more resilient communities. The funding supports a broad range of projects, from improving public infrastructure and expanding housing options to promoting local economic stability and advancing social equity.


One opportunity provides assistance to cities and counties working to update local planning and development frameworks. The funds help communities manage growth, enhance livability, and align with state goals for sustainable development.

Another ongoing opportunity supports smaller municipalities and rural areas with community development projects that enhance essential services and improve the quality of life for residents, particularly those in lower-income communities. These grants often assist with upgrading public facilities, infrastructure improvements, or other community-focused initiatives.


A separate program focuses on advancing equity and reinvestment in communities that have experienced economic or social disadvantages. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, tribal organizations, and local groups that deliver programs in areas such as workforce support, small business assistance, housing stability, and community safety.


These grant opportunities are offered on a recurring basis and are tailored to meet the unique needs of Washington’s diverse regions. By investing in local planning, infrastructure, and community-driven initiatives, the state seeks to promote inclusive growth and create stronger, more connected communities for the future.
