IMPACT FUNDING

The Impact Funding opportunity is open to eligible organizations that demonstrate a commitment to Tacoma Creates’ vision for vibrant, equitable, and inclusive cultural programs.

Funding range: Applicants may request a minimum of $3,000, and up to $60,000 per year, which may support a single program or multiple programs. A funding match is required: The funding request may be a maximum of 50 percent of the total cost of the proposed programming. Applicants must demonstrate at least a 1:1 match of other resources to support the work, which may include volunteer time and donated materials and space.

For complete information about this funding program, the application process, and the evaluation criteria, read the full Application Guidelines.

There are two application forms within the Impact Funding category:

Level A: for organizations requesting under $20,000, or for organizations only proposing Beyond the Bell / Club B classes

Level B: for organizations requesting between $20,000 and $60,000

The application review panel will consider funding for Level A and Level B applications separately, to better support newer and smaller organizations, or those who are proposing programming that is smaller in scope.  Both levels have the same sections and the same evaluation criteria.

The Impact Funding application deadline for the 2024-2025 funding year has passed. Please check in January 2025 for information on the next funding cycle.

We encourage interested organizations to read through the Eligibility information, and the 2024-25 Application Guidelines for more information.
