Deadline Extended for Human Services Funding Applications

The City of Renton is extending the application deadline for community service providers to apply for 2021-2022 human services funding. The deadline is now May 5, 2020 due to impacts from the coronavirus.

The City of Renton offers grants to nonprofit organizations to support human services activities that serve Renton residents. This human service funding is on a two-year cycle, with second-year funding contingent on contract performance and program outcomes.

Human service providers may submit an application at share1app.org. Find the specific requirements for applying to the City of Renton by opening the Renton Supplemental. The City of Renton Human Services Advisory Committee will review the submitted applications between April and July and present funding recommendations to the City Council in the fall. 

In addition to applying for human services funding, agencies are encouraged to access the following resources for specific, near-term needs:

• Seattle Foundation COVID-19 Response Fund - Agencies should email covid19@seattlefoundation.org with agency needs so they will be considered to receive some of the COVID-19 Response Fund dollars.

• United Way of King County - Agencies are encouraged to use the Request Help portal to post volunteer/resource needs, e.g., gift card drives, supply drives, etc.

• Public Health Survey - Agencies can take a public health survey to communicate needs/gaps.
