The Port of Seattle has announced that it is accepting applications from community-based organizations for projects that improve the environment in historically under-represented communities. These include those surrounding Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and South King County, extending up to Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley and the Duwamish Valley. The port said in a press release that a total of $500,000 is available in this cycle of the South King and Port Communities Fund (formerly the South King County Community Impact Fund) Environmental Improvements Program (EIP). Community-based organizations with a 501(c)3, a 501(c)6, or a fiscal sponsor with 501(c)3 or 501(c)6 are eligible to apply. In 2024, the Port of Seattle Commission authorized $14 million, up from $10 million over the previous five years, to continue community-led projects through the South King and Port Communities Fund (SKPCF).
