Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative
Community Matching Grants
What are Community Matching Grants?
The Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative, or SYVPI, funds community projects through Community Matching Grants.
Available funding for each project is up to $20,000. All projects are required to have a community match that equals at least one-half of the requested amount of SYVPI funding.
These projects will supplement existing Initiative services and will serve youth referred by one or more of the three Neighborhood Networks. For a complete overview of eligible populations to be served, eligible uses of funds, and other details, please thoroughly review the Request for Proposals application and guidelines.
SYVPI focuses on reducing and preventing youth violence in three Neighborhood Networks: Central Seattle, SE Seattle, and SW Seattle. Currently more than 1,100 youth are served by these Neighborhood Networks. Each has a lead agency that coordinates youth referrals to services.
Who Should Apply: Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions (.pdf).
When to Apply:
Applications must be received by the Department of Neighborhoods office by:
- 4:30 p.m., Friday, March 23, 2012
Applicants are notified of award decision within one month of application deadline.
Technical Assistance
Interested applicants MUST attend one of the Neighborhood Networks Technical Assistance sessions to discuss your project, get assistance, and get your questions answered. A representative of your selected Network must sign and date your cover sheet to show that your proposed project is aligned with the Network and will complement their existing Initiative services to provide the strongest outcomes for youth.
