Seattle Peoples Fund, established in 2001, works to improve and expand mutual understanding and respect within and between individuals and groups of the many diverse cultures in the Seattle area, particularly of those whose voices have traditionally not been heard.
We provide grants for projects that assist communities in expressing and invigorating their cultural traditions, arts and languages through community engagement and community building efforts. We prioritize supporting projects that are organized by the communities being served and where people come together and engage meaningfully with each other.
We welcome proposals from community-based organizations located within the Puget Sound region. Organizations that may not have access to traditional sources of funding are encouraged to apply.
We do not make grants for social services, individuals, scholarship funds, sectarian religious activities or fundraising drives.
