Strong Neighborhood Action Program (SNAP)Community Building Grants
The NW Insurance
Council's grants programs are on hiatus. During more than 10 years
of the Grants Program, the NW Insurance Council and its member
companies gave more than $1 million to communities across the
NW region from 1996 to 2009. We remain committed to serving the
public through grassroots education about the value of insurance
and how it works.
Overview
NW Insurance Council makes Strong Neighborhood Action Program
grants available to community councils in federally-designated
Weed and Seed sites. NW Insurance Council also provides Community
Building Grants to neighborhood organizations throughout the Northwest.
Grants are designed for neighborhood restoration and community
building projects. The strongest applications meet both requirements
and address the "broken window" affect of crime.
For more information or to obtain a grant application, contact
NW Insurance Council at (206) 624-3330 or (800) 664-4942.
SNAP Preliminary Review Committee
Grant Requirements
When applying for a SNAP grant, recipients must be a community
council or neighborhood association within Weed and Seed boundaries
and must provide Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation when submitting
a grant application.
Community Grants are open to any community-oriented organization
working on behalf of communities in Northwest state. The project
must benefit the entire community.
Deadlines
Preliminary Proposals for SNAP grants are due May 31. If proposals
meet SNAP requirements, applicants will be asked to submit a full
proposal by July 31. E-mail Caryn Badgett, NW Insurance Council
grants director, at caryn.badgett@nwinsurance.org
for the Preliminary Project Proposal.
Community Building Grant applications may be submitted at any
time and are awarded on an ongoing basis. Please contact the NW
Insurance Council office for more information.
