Funding Opportunities

Early childhood funding opportunities are available through the Families and Education Levy and the Seattle Preschool Program Levy:

• Seattle Preschool Program (SPP) and SPP Pathway Program - Through the 2018-19 school year, Seattle-based pre-K providers are eligible to apply to join the Seattle Preschool Program and SPP Pathway Program through an annual Request for Investment (RFI) process. Other competitive opportunities such as the SPP Family Child Care Pilot, and exclusive funding opportunities for current SPP and SPP Pathway providers, will be made available through the RFI process and posted on this page.

K-12 funding opportunities are available through the Families and Education Levy:

• School Year Levy funding: Only Seattle elementary, middle and high schools are eligible to apply for school year grants through a competitive Request for Investment (RFI) process.  Community-based organizations and individuals that wish to partner with schools to provide services must be pre-approved through the Request for Qualification (RFQ) process.  Schools then decide which organizations and individuals to partner with and fund using their grant.

• Summer Levy funding: Both schools and community-based organizations (CBOs) are eligible to apply for summer learning grants through a competitive RFI process, unless otherwise noted.
