Where we work

We offer environmental health grant writing assistance for community-based organizations, tribal organizations and tribes that are based in Washington state. Our goal is to help these groups build capacity to address environmental justice issues and effectively access environmental and energy funding to support that work.

Due to changes in funding, we are limited in our ability to provide technical assistance to groups outside Washington. 

Who we serve

We work with tribes and community-based organizations that have deep relationships and roots in frontline communities, or those who experience the "first and worst" impacts of climate change and environmental pollution.

We work with communities that experience systemic inequities in exposure to environmental hazards and access to resources. These include:

  • Tribal communities
  • Black, Indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) communities
  • Rural communities
  • Immigrants and refugees
  • LGBTQ+ communities
  • People with disabilities
