The City of Duvall, Washington is offering the 2025 Human Services Grant to support non-profit organizations providing essential services to residents in need, especially children, seniors, and families. This funding opportunity highlights the city's commitment to supporting vital, affordable services, and the agencies that deliver them. The program’s mission is to distribute funds to organizations that offer necessary services related to physical survival (such as food, shelter, and protection), gainful employment, social support and mental health, and access to services like transportation, referrals, and information. The goal is to ensure that all City of Duvall residents, particularly those in vulnerable groups, have access to the help they need.

Eligible organizations must be private non-profit entities either recognized by the IRS as 501(c)(3) organizations or registered with the State of Washington. Public entities meeting Section 170(c)(3) of the IRS Code can also apply. The City of Duvall has budgeted $40,000 for grants in 2025, although additional funding may become available. The final grant award amount will be determined through a transparent evaluation process, with each application being assessed on its merits. The City reserves the right to grant any amount up to the applicant’s requested amount, depending on available funds.

The application process requires non-profit organizations to submit a completed Human Services Funding Application, proof of non-profit status (either an IRS determination letter or state registration), a copy of the organization’s most recent financial statement or current budget, and a list of the Board of Directors. Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications well before the deadline to ensure proper consideration. The deadline for submission is March 10, 2025. Applications can be submitted via email to the City Clerk's office or physically delivered to City Hall.

The City provides additional support through the opportunity to request the Human Services Grant Application and Policy via email or by calling the City Clerk’s Office. The application materials and detailed policies are also available for download on the City’s website. Applicants are encouraged to thoroughly review the grant management policy for detailed criteria regarding the evaluation process and expectations for funding.
