Grants for Non-Profits
The City of Tukwila values the impactful work of non-profits who serve our community. As a result, the City allocates a portion of its general fund budget to support grants to organizations delivering services and resources to Tukwila residents. These programs provide services that meet a critical need, and are affordable and accessible (free, low-cost, cost-adjusted according to income).
Funding Process
In the spring of each even year (2024, 2026, etc.), the City of Tukwila accepts requests for human services funding through a common application called Share1. The common app allows organizations to apply for funding from Tukwila along with 15 other cities in King County.
Applications are reviewed through a competitive process to award funding to non-profit agencies serving Tukwila residents. Funds are dispersed to organizations over the following two-year period.
The next application will open in March 2026 which will be for funding distributed in 2027-2028. For an overview of the funding timeline, see the illustration below.
