Community Climate Resilience Grant Program

The Community Climate Resilience (CCR) Grant Program serves as a resource for frontline communities to develop new or expand on existing community-based climate resilience projects. Proposals accepted for funding between $5,000 - $30,000!     

As part of King County’s commitment to action on climate change and to equity and social justice (ESJ), the 2020 Strategic Climate Action Plan (SCAP) includes a Sustainable & Resilient Frontline Communities (SRFC) section focused on climate equity and community-driven policy. The SRFC framework was developed through a community-driven process where leaders of frontline communities established the goals and guided the priority areas for climate action based on climate justice values and community needs.  

 The CCR Grant Program responds to priority actions in the SRFC section that focus on providing resources and using positional power to help organizations achieve their missions and advance their climate resiliency work and education.
