Description
This grant provides fast-track financial assistance to cultural and science organizations, public agencies (except K-12 schools), Tribal governments, and stewards of designated landmarks in King County, Washington, who face unexpected facility emergencies (e.g., fires, floods) or urgent opportunities (e.g., property acquisition, new leases).
