King County Seeks Organizations and Businesses to Provide Technical Assistance and Capacity Building to Recipients of Federal COVID-19 Funding 

King County is seeking organizations or businesses to provide technical assistance and capacity building to community-based organizations receiving federal COVID-19 funding. King County has allocated millions of dollars in grants and contracts through its federal COVID funding and continues to do so. Not every community-based organization that is eligible for these grants has the infrastructure to successfully apply for funding, or the capacity to manage these funds and comply with reporting requirements. 

King County and the Office of Equity and Social Justice are committed to investing in capacity building and infrastructure for community-based organizations awarded these federal COVID-19 grants and contracts. To provide technical assistance and capacity building, King County has allocated $400,000 through 2022 to contract with organizations and businesses that have the expertise to provide services to potential applicants and grantees. 

King County is seeking organizations and businesses that can help with: 

  • Grant-writing and grant budget development

  • Accounting

  • Grant management

  • Designing data collection methods

  • Strategic planning

  • Long-term budget development

  • Governance structures

  • Standard operating policies and procedures

  • Staff structure

  • Technology solutions

Community-based organizations provide vital services to the community and it’s important that those who receive grants or contracts are successful not only in delivering services, but in maintaining the accounting and reporting mandates required by the federal government. 

If your organization or business is interested in providing technical assistance and capacity building services to other community-based organizations, please apply for funding through a request for proposal at King County’s website. The application deadline is May 17, 2022 at 5 p.m. 

For questions about the application process, please contact OESJgrants@kingcounty.gov.
