Summary


This summary describes a range of grant opportunities administered by a state commerce agency that serves communities and promotes economic development across Washington State. The funding initiatives cover multiple areas, including infrastructure, energy planning, community development, and support services, with eligibility generally tied to entities operating within the state’s jurisdictions. Eligible applicants typically include local governments, tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, community-based organizations, and in some cases businesses or collaborative partnerships that align with specific program goals.



Several funding streams are designed to support community and economic vitality. One set of competitive grants focuses on helping public entities improve planning and permitting processes for clean energy projects, supporting environmental protection and energy transition objectives. Another set provides resources for infrastructure and housing projects in smaller cities and counties, enabling projects that enhance community growth and livability.


Other opportunities fund capital facility improvements and community service centers by reimbursing a portion of construction or rehabilitation costs for nonprofit partners in underserved areas. Additional programs support safety and security enhancements for nonprofit organizations and faith-based institutions, as well as capital improvements for libraries and other community facilities, often with requirements for local contributions or matching support.


Some grants specifically target social needs, such as services for individuals returning from incarceration or programs addressing poverty and community well-being. Across these programs, the intent of the funds is to strengthen local infrastructure, promote energy efficiency and equitable growth, support essential community services, and enhance public safety and planning capacity throughout the state. The programs emphasize broad access, regional equity, and the development of projects that generate lasting benefits for communities of all sizes.
