Funding Opportunity

Imagine Justice Project and the Peace Point Collaborative are seeking to fund capacity building projects for organizations serving youth in Pierce County at the highest risk for being impacted by gun violence.

The purpose of this funding is to grow capacity in our community to meet the needs of those youth (ages 10-30) at the highest risk of being impacted by violence, particularly gun violence, in Pierce County. For the purposes of this funding opportunity, capacity building projects can be understood as projects which expand the number of youth an organization serves, expand the types of services provided, improve the quality of services provided, and/or improve the efficiency at which an organization can provide services. As such, projects may relate to developing staff size, staff training or competencies, volunteer recruitment or retention, organizational tools or equipment including vehicles and technology, and/or partnerships. Applicants may propose a project that relates to an area not listed here provided it meets the definition as stated above for a capacity-building project, specifically around serving youth at the highest risk of being impacted by violence in Pierce County.
