The City of Spokane, through its Accounting and Grants Department, is offering a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) to support community-serving organizations with capital campaign expenses. This grant program aims to provide capital dollars to help organizations secure physical locations for operation, ultimately expanding services and benefiting historically marginalized communities. The program aligns with a mission to foster community development and support vital organizations within the City of Spokane. The primary beneficiaries of this grant are 501c3 organizations registered within the City of Spokane, particularly those establishing or expanding multicultural centers. These centers must be located within city limits and dedicate over 50% of their space to outward-facing multicultural activities. The impact goal is to strengthen the infrastructure of community-serving organizations, enabling them to provide expanded and more accessible services to their target populations. The program prioritizes organizations demonstrating a clear need for a capital project, a proven history of serving historically marginalized communities, and fiscal responsibility. Key tasks for funding include strategic planning, feasibility studies, campaign implementation, and staff training related to capital campaigns. The focus is on ensuring that the funded projects are well-planned, sustainable, and directly contribute to the organization's ability to serve its community effectively. Expected outcomes include the successful implementation of capital campaigns, resulting in organizations securing or expanding their physical operating locations. Measurable results will include the completion of projects by June 30, 2026, with funds contracted by December 31, 2024. This initiative reflects a strategic priority to invest in community infrastructure and empower organizations that are vital to the social and cultural well-being of Spokane's diverse population. The theory of change is that by providing capital for physical locations, the City can enable organizations to better serve and expand their reach within the community.
