State: Washington
City: Chelan
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 01/09/2026
Size of the Grant: Not Available
Grant Duration: Grant Duration Not Mentioned
Details:
This annual grant opportunity supports local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that serve those in greatest need—particularly individuals who are experiencing poverty or facing health challenges—in alignment with Washington State requirements and the City’s commitment to community health, safety, and wellbeing.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must be a 501c3 nonprofit organization and projects should focus on serving those in greatest need in community—especially people who are poor or facing health challenges. This helps ensure that the grants are consistent with Washington State requirements and are not considered a “gifting of public funds.” State law (Article VIII, Section 7 of the Washington State Constitution) specifically allows support for the poor and infirm, and the Attorney General has confirmed that this applies to either group. More broadly, the use of public funds is also supported when it serves a fundamental purpose of government, such as protecting community health, safety, and welfare.
