Local non-profit Groundswell NW has announced a new microgrant program that will award $500 to community members who are starting projects that support their mission – “creating community, parks, and habitat.” A large grant from an anonymous donor is funding the microgrants.
Groundswell NW board member David Folweiler says the projects, “are preferred to be in northwest Seattle, be a new project, and have an inclusive group and invite the public to participate.” The projects should all have a strong focus on creation or maintenance of public parks, habitats, or green spaces. Projects also should involve education about a topic or project related to Groundswell’s mission, Folweiler writes.
To apply, visit the Groundswell NW website – www.GroundswellNW.org/microgrants. The applications are available year-round and grant recipients will be notified within four weeks of submitting applications. Folweiler tells us the grants are awarded at the discretion of the Groundswell NW Board of Directors.
For any questions, contact Folweiler at david@folweiler.com or 206-714-4271.
