Seattle Parks and Recreation is offering two funding opportunities for 2025: the Get Moving Fund and the Recreation for All Fund. These grants support innovative and engaging recreational activities that promote physical activity, social connection, and community engagement across Seattle. Funding is available for individuals, organizations, small businesses, and groups to implement creative programming, such as fitness classes, cultural events, and art workshops.

Both grant programs provide up to $15,000 in funding. The goal is to encourage accessible, inclusive, and community-driven recreation that enhances Seattle’s neighborhoods. Whether applicants are individuals with a vision or established organizations looking to expand their outreach, these funds aim to make recreational opportunities available to diverse communities.

Applications must be submitted online through the Seattle Parks and Recreation grant portal. The application period opens on January 14, 2025, at 8:00 AM PST, and closes on February 11, 2025, at 11:59 PM PST. Seattle Parks and Recreation provides guidelines and info sessions for prospective applicants to better understand the grant criteria and process.

The grants align with Seattle Parks and Recreation’s mission to promote healthy people, a healthy environment, and strong communities by supporting projects that foster well-being, creativity, and togetherness in public spaces.
