We’re seeking to shift power and create more meaningful spaces in our work. Because of this, our grant programs will look a bit different in 2024 than in previous years.
To do this, we’re working on a new framework for our grantmaking process that will:
- Make it easier for communities seeking equal access, opportunities, and resources to access funding.
- Simplify and reduce application and reporting process on applicants and grantees.
- Increase transparency and accountability in our decision-making.
- Strengthen our relationships with current grantees through more funding, time, and flexibility. This supports sustained momentum and community-oriented timelines.
Available Grant Programs in 2024
Grant programs with upcoming open calls:
- Lighthouse Organizations Fund, open until January 15, 2024
- Community Prosperity Fund, open until June 24, 2024
- Neighborhood Small Grants, launching in March, 2024
- LEVEL BIPOC, applications open until August 15, 2024
- Downtown Eastside Small Arts Grants, launching in autumn, 2024
- Community-informed systems change grant, launching in autumn, 2024
We are continuing to reimagine our approach to grantmaking to foster more equitable and trust-based approaches and practices for the long term.
This work will involve engaging with the community to learn, evaluate, and co-design programs and approaches to our grantmaking in ways that shift and share power.
