The program is designed to support projects that contribute to the economic viability of local farmers, encourage new farmers, expand acreage in food production, improve food access, and increase demand for King County farm products.
Seattle Community Partnership Grant Program
A joint effort to support both KCD and City of Seattle priorities for natural resource improvement. This grant program is highly competitive for approximately $370,000 available each year.

If your project is located within City of Seattle limits or on City of Seattle owned property and you are an established nonprofit organization or have an established nonprofit organization as a partner/fiscal sponsor, you are eligible to apply for this program.
