Snohomish County announced that it will be making more than $2 million available to non-profit organizations that serve Snohomish County residents to support organizational stabilization and capacity-building for addressing the COVID-related needs of community members. The Non-Profit Stabilization and Capacity-Building grant program is part of the county’s plan to use federal CARES Act resources to support local non-profit organizations impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as they work to support community members in need.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted people countywide, including our non-profit partners,” said Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers. “We know how important the services provided by non-profit organizations are to the health, safety, and well-being of the Snohomish County community. We will continue to be strong advocates for more federal funding to support our non-profits and the people they serve.”
The Non-Profit Stabilization and Capacity Building grant program is a key part of the relief and recovery action Snohomish County is taking to help non-profit organizations impacted by the pandemic. Each non-profit organization applying for grants under this program must:
- Be registered as a non-profit organization in the State of Washington.
- Be designated by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization and not in suspense or debarment.
- Have a physical presence in Snohomish County.
- Be in operation for at least one year.
- Have experienced a reduction in revenue or increase in service demand attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Grant instructions and assistance with application completion will be available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Russian.

Snohomish County Parks announced today the total impact of their one-day Food Drive event last Thursday, August 27, held at the Evergreen State Fair Park. A whopping 6,309 pounds of food and $4,275 of donations were collected which will benefit Volunteers of America Western WA and the Snohomish County Food Bank Coalition. On what would have been the first day of the annual 12-day fair, the community came out in droves to support their neighbors, decorate their cars as floats, and even to indulge in some fair scones.
