Grant Description
Grants of up to $15,000 to Washington nonprofit organizations for projects that benefit communities of color in eligible regions. Eligible programs are those led by Black, Indigenous, and people of color. Priority will be given to programs with a focus on basic needs, academic support, and mental health. Programs must benefit the residents of South King County and South Seattle.

The Rapid Resource Fund invests in short-term opportunities that have the potential to spark change or contribute towards Road Map Project goals. Since its creation in 2013, the pooled fund aims to provide timely grants to support work in the Road Map Project region.

In 2022, the Rapid Resource Fund (RRF) will focus investments in small community-based projects led by and serving Black, Indigenous and people of color in our region. In response to community needs, this year the fund will continue to prioritize projects that support mental health, academic supports, or basic needs.

Grant Criteria

  • Connection to or alignment with the Road Map Project’s mission to support every child and young person in the region (in particular, children furthest from educational justice) to thrive in their education, communities, and life.
  • Projects prioritizing mental health wellness, academic support, or basic needs for youth (and/or led by youth) Examples could include:
    • A project that provides art opportunities to youth as a means of culturally responsive mental health intervention.

    • An organization hosts events/workshops that provide academic support for students during school reopening and provide postsecondary readiness.
    • An organization provides a summer learning program for students.
    • A youth-led and operated project hosts community food bank event(s).
  • Projects led by and serving Black, Indigenous, and communities of color.
