Eligible applicants

The following entities are eligible to apply for WaterWorks grant funding:

• Nonprofit groups including associations, community groups, and 501(C)3 organizations
• Schools and educational institutions
• Cities and counties (with the exception of King County DNRP*)
• Special purpose districts
• Tribes

Those not listed here (such as a business) can partner with an organization that is eligible which acts as fiscal sponsor. The fiscal sponsor would sign the grant agreement, submit reports, and receive payments. Partner organizations can divide duties and tasks as appropriate.
