~ Tacoma Creates, a program dedicated to supporting arts, culture, heritage, and science in Tacoma, has announced that applications for its sixth year of funding are now open. Non-profit organizations whose primary purpose is to advance and/or preserve these areas are encouraged to apply for funding to support programs and events between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026.
The program offers two categories of funding – Comprehensive Organizational Support and Impact funding – with a total of $400,000 available per year. The funding is determined through a competitive application process.
Mayor Victoria Woodards expressed her excitement about the impact of Tacoma Creates on the city's cultural sector. "The cultural sector that helps define Tacoma is so impressive and vibrant, and Tacoma Creates funding is helping this sector grow and evolve in exciting ways," she said. "We are able to support cultural organizations, small and large, and across this spectrum we have such a diversity of programming and events to engage and enrich our community."

Katie Mattran, Chair of the Tacoma Creates Advisory Board, also highlighted the positive outcomes of the program's investment in the cultural sector. "Our community's investment in the cultural sector is connected to so many positive outcomes for our community," she said. "The expansion of youth education programs, the growth in partnerships with Tacoma Public Library and Tacoma Public Schools, and the employment for artists and other creative workers are just a few of the benefits of Tacoma Creates funding."
Organizations interested in applying for Comprehensive Organizational Support funding can request up to 15 percent of their total annual budget or a maximum of $400,000 per year. To be eligible for this category, applicants must be a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Tacoma that provides ongoing cultural programs accessible to the general public as well as youth education programs.

This funding can support general public programs and/or youth education programs. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations, Business District Associations and Neighborhood Councils recognized by the City of Tacoma, Affiliate Cultural Organizations within a larger non-profit, and organizations based in Pierce County but whose primary work happens in Tacoma. There are two levels of funding available – Level A for requests between $3,000 and $20,000, or for organizations proposing Beyond the Bell / Club B or Summer Late Nights classes; and Level B for requests between $20,000 and $60,000. The deadline to apply for Impact funding is March 24th at 11:59 PM.
