Do you have a community project idea, but need some support to help make it happen? The Neighborhood Matching Fund, a program of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, invites you to any of our three workshops where you’ll learn how to get funding for your project. Each workshop will provide an overview of the Neighborhood Matching Fund, the qualities of a strong application, and the review process. Community and neighborhood groups interested in the fund are invited to attend.
WORKSHOPS
All workshops will occur on Saturdays from 10 – 11:30 a.m. The dates and locations are as follows:
- July 27: Miller Community Center, 330 19th Ave E
- August 3: University Heights Center, 5031 University Way
