The Member Jurisdiction Grant Program funds projects in partnership with the 34 cities (excluding Seattle) that are members of King Conservation District. For Seattle projects please see the Seattle Community Partnership Grant Program details here. Applicants for this program must partner with or represent a member jurisdiction (34 cities and King County) to put forth a proposal that meets both jurisdictional and District priorities for natural resource improvement. Activities eligible for funding through this program include the direct improvement of natural resource conditions, education and outreach, pilot and demonstration projects and projects that build capacity. Please review the grant program guidelines below.
