Funding Opportunity

The Washington State Department of Health is offering a new funding opportunity called Building Community Capacity for Equitable COVID-19 Recovery.

A total of $1.5 million will be distributed to community organizations serving communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Organizations may receive up to $40,000 for projects that help improve equitable access, distribution, and administration of COVID-19 vaccines, health information, and prevention resources as well as community capacity building and mobilization to advance health equity by addressing the structural and social determinants of health amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interest forms for project funding are due by Aug. 28 and must meet certain criteria.

For complete information about the funding, eligibility and how to submit an interest form, visit Building Community Capacity for Equitable COVID-19 Recovery.

Please share this opportunity with your networks, community partners, and anyone else who might be interested.
