Application Process

For the foreseeable future, general grants are initiated by the Board of Trustees. There is no longer a competitive application process. Our current grants are listed in the Recent Grants tab. Grant recipients hear directly from a NW Fund for the Environment representative. Use the staff at nwfund.org address for inquiries.

The Community Response Fund (CRF) provides short-term grants to meet pressing needs. Grants are awarded in response to an application and the grants are made on a rolling basis. CRF grants provide short-term funding for a specific project to an eligible organization. CRF funding is for work that advances the objectives of our Growth Management and Aquatic Ecosystems programs. After reviewing the eligibility and application info, make inquiries via email to staff at nwfund.org.
