EDI Request for Proposals - Current EDI Projects - Capital + Capacity Building
seattle / Office of Planning and Community Development
Description
The Equitable Development Initiative (EDI) is seeking proposals from community-based organizations working in Seattle on anti-displacement strategies, responding to creating new economic opportunities, improving educational outcomes, and other forms of community development. Total 2025 EDI funding available for existing grantee projects : $14 Million. Applicant Eligibility The current funding is split across four different buckets, each with their own eligibility criteria. You ARE eligible for this bucket of funding if you are: A current EDI grantee seeking funding for a previously funded project, AND You are applying for Capital funding Grantees may also request additional capacity building funds up to $75,000 for two years ($150,000 total), if they were not awarded EDI capacity building funds in 2024. You are NOT eligible if: You are a prospective grantee NOT previously awarded EDI funds, or You are a current EDI grantee applying for a new capital project or an expansion of an existing capital scope If you are a prospective grantee not previously awarded EDI funds, or, are an existing EDI grantee requesting funds for a new capital project, please return to the EDI website and select the correct application portal. Applicant Minimum Criteria Priority will be given to organizations that best meet most of the following criteria: Is the applicant incorporated as a nonprofit in the State of Washington? If not, does the organization have a fiscal sponsor and does the fiscal sponsor limit sponsor fees to 10 percent of the funding award or less and have a clear strategy to support the organization’s long-term capacity-building work? EDI may make exceptions where a for-profit organization can demonstrate extraordinary accountability to impacted communities and where requiring non-profit status or fiscal sponsorship would add unnecessary costs and inefficiency to the project. The proposal must demonstrate work that primarily serves City of Seattle residents located within communities that face high risk of displacement. The applicant must be in good standing with any other open City of Seattle contracts, grants, and/or loans. The project addresses at least three of the Equity Drivers from the Implementation Plan . Proposals should focus on only the three drivers that best fit the project concept. Receiving EDI funding is contingent on meeting program requirements and completing pre-contracting due diligence activities. EDI funds cannot be used for regular organization operations as awarded funds must be applied to developing the capacity for and completing the process of completing the capital project selected for funding in the recipient organization application. Projects that do not use their funds and extend beyond the two-year period may be required to reapply for the remaining awarded funds to ensure that projects are still active.
