Summary

This grant program supports economic recovery and community investment in Tacoma, Washington, including areas within Tacoma city limits and the surrounding Pierce County region. It is designed to help local businesses and nonprofits overcome financial barriers and support sustainable growth through targeted grant funding.


The program offers grants of up to $25,000, focusing on two key areas. One grant helps reimburse a portion of annual commercial rent expenses, easing operational costs for eligible businesses. The other supports the purchase of critical equipment or technology, helping organizations improve efficiency, build capacity, and modernize their services or operations. Eligible applicants include for-profit businesses and nonprofit organizations located within the designated region. Grants are available to businesses, while nonprofit organizations may qualify based on their operational impact and alignment with program goals. Applicants must typically demonstrate a consistent history of operation and a commitment to serving the local community. These funds are part of a larger statewide effort to promote equitable economic development and reinvestment in communities that have faced historic disadvantages. The grant program is administered through local partnerships and technical assistance providers and is offered on an annual basis, with application periods generally opening early each year.


The intent of the funding is to remove financial obstacles that often prevent small organizations from reaching stability or expanding their services. Whether used to relieve rent burdens or to invest in essential business assets, the grants are aimed at creating more opportunities for growth, innovation, and long-term success. By focusing on operational relief and strategic upgrades, this initiative helps strengthen the economic foundation of the Tacoma area and ensures that local businesses and nonprofits have the tools they need to thrive and continue contributing to the broader community.
