Investing in Our Communities
Apply for Our Microgrant
The SeattleCU Foundation is proud to announce the launch of our Investing in our Communities microgrant program.
These small but powerful grants are designed to support individuals and organizations leading efforts to build and strengthen communities across WA state.
What We Fund
Investing in Our Communities microgrants support community-based projects that are:
Locally rooted - designed by and for the community they serve.
Inclusive - focused on engaging historically excluded or underrepresented groups.
Impactful - strengthening community connections, well-being, or access to resources.
Ready to go - able to launch or be completed by the end of 2025.
Examples may include:
Neighborhood gatherings or community-building events
Youth engagement or empowerment projects
Financial education or resource-sharing workshops
Mental health or well-being meetings rooted in community
Projects that reduce isolation or increase belonging
Please Note: Investing in Our Communities microgrants are intended to support projects that build and strengthen communities. These grants are not intended to fund fundraising events, galas, or general sponsorships. If you are seeking support for a fundraising event, please check out Seattle Credit Union’s Community Impact Partnership Opportunities.
