Description
Supporting and investing in frontline community organizations to build their capacity to address climate impacts is necessary to implement holistic, community-centered approaches. King County will establish a community co-created and sustainable community climate resilience grant program awarding multi-year grants. The program will lower barriers to access through equitable grantmaking, providing technical support, providing funding pathways for small minority-owned businesses, contractors, and community-based nonprofit organizations. Applicants and grantees will receive appropriate levels of support to complete applications, and if awarded, receive support to successfully execute activities and fulfill reporting requirements. This will support frontline community’s ability to lead and organize effective action on climate change.
