As your King County Councilmember, I want to make sure that you have access to all the funding opportunities possible through our District 3 office!
Investing in our local governments and non-profit organizations and supporting innovative ideas through funding will ensure that each of our communities are able to thrive, now and in the future.
City and town governments and non-profit organizations located in and/or serving the residents of King County Council District 3 are eligible to apply for these grants. King County Council District 3 includes Bothell, Woodinville, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah, Duvall, Carnation, Fall City, Snoqualmie, North Bend, Skykomish, Snoqualmie Pass, and surrounding unincorporated areas.
These grants are intended to fund one-time, emerging needs. I do my best to provide funding to organizations from all parts of our District. As such, priority will be given to organizations that have not received a Councilmanic grant in recent years.
Details about the grants are highlighted below. If you have any questions, please reach out to
Tabatha.Foxwell@kingcounty.gov.
