The City is awarding matching grants of up to $20,000 per project to increase technology literacy or use of technology tools for civic engagement for Seattle residents. The deadline to apply is March 12th!
Important dates for grant applicants:
Thursday, Jan. 30, 10 – 11:30 a.m., free grant workshop

The free grant workshops will both cover the same information: grant basics, how to apply, grant requirements and what makes a successful application.
The City is encouraging applications for community based civic engagement projects that build the digital skills of our residents, raise awareness of city resources online and use the internet, social media and/or mobile devices for community engagement and interaction with government.
