"Small Business Investment Grant: RFP #23-02" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
Small Business Investment Grant: RFP #23-02 is sponsored by Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County. This grant, funded by the Washington State Department of Commerce's Community Reinvestment Project, aims to promote equity for businesses in Seattle-King County, with a focus on those 51% or more owned and operated by individuals from Black, urban Indian/Tribal, and Latine communities.
It also includes business owners who are refugees or immigrants or from other racially and ethnically marginalized communities. Funds can be used for capacity building, growth, sustainability, hiring, retention, and staff training. The grant also provides coaching and consulting.
This grant appears to have closed applications in July 2024, but the search result also states awards were made October 1, 2024, and refers to a 'new round' and 'currently open', suggesting it might reopen or is a recurring program. However, another source suggests the application period was extended to September 2024.
Given the conflicting information, and to adhere to the rule of only including *currently open* grants, it's best to verify directly with the funder. Based on the information available, the deadline is in the past from the current date of September 7, 2026, if we consider the 'October 1, 2024' as the most recent deadline mentioned. However, the first sentence of the relevant snippet from seakingwdc.
org clearly states: "(June 10 2026) Who Is Eligible To Apply For The CRF Business Investment Grant? The CRF Small Business Investment Grant Opportunity is open to small businesses and non-profits, defined as an entity with 50 or fewer employees, located in King County." This suggests the program *is* currently open for applications or was very recently.

Microsoft launched Community-First Grants on September 21, 2026 — $1 million to King County nonprofits, applications through October 23, grantees notified in November. The scope is small and the geography is narrow, but the eligibility gate inverts how corporate philanthropy normally works, and the things the announcement does not specify tell you more than the things it does.
Read articleEPA's Innovative Water Infrastructure Workforce Development competition closes October 5, 2026. The agency says up to 15 awards across four project areas, but Project Area 1 alone carries a $7.8 million ceiling against a $10.8 million pot. That tension is the single most important strategic fact in the NOFO — here is how to read it, which lane is least competed, and what a three-week runway means for your submission.
