• Complete the full application, including documentation requirements
• All organizations applying for $25,000 or $50,000 grants are required to submit a project budget

Helpful Tips

• Review all the eligibility requirements before submitting the request form, including whether your organization is located within Snohomish city limits
  • There are large swaths of unincorporated Snohomish County that have Snohomish street addresses, so don’t assume that a Snohomish street address means your organization is located within city limits
• Funding is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so start preparing as soon as possible
  • Don’t have a City of Snohomish endorsement on your business license? The Department of Revenue can take 10 business days to process your application. Don’t jeopardize your chances by being unprepared. Start gathering the necessary documentation ASAP
• If your application is approved, read the funding agreement carefully before signing
