State: Washington
County: King County (WA)
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 08/11/2023
Details:
Seed Level Funding supports organizations that are newer to this work who aim to provide events for potential voters in 2023 and 2024. The goal is to grow the capacity of organizations representing communities who desire to increase their capability of doing effective, non-partisan voter education work.
Seattle Foundation is prioritizing applications that are:
- Led and staffed by individuals reflecting the ethnic and cultural communities being served.
- Showcase a history or demonstrated ability to reach and engage members from the communities, especially as it relates to voting access; and
- Have a plan for engaging first time voters, youth of color, people living with disabilities, individuals experiencing homelessness or people convicted of a felony, BIPOC and historically excluded communities in South King County.
- In this cycle they will prioritize organizations serving communities not currently being served by Voter Education Fund grantees.
