Small Grants. Big Impact.

Each year the West Seattle Garden Tour, a 501(c)(3) organization, offers grants to other nonprofits whose goals fit our mission—to promote horticulture, education, and the arts within West Seattle and neighboring communities.  

If you are interested in requesting a grant from the West Seattle Garden Tour, please note the application guidelines and timeline. Application forms can be submitted directly on our website and are available beginning on April 15 and are due by July 15. If you would prefer to fill out and email an electronic copy, you can download our application and submit your completed form to Karen Fields at tinygardens@gmail.com. Our Grants Committee will select 8-10 applicants out of all applications for further consideration by our entire organization. Those selected 8-10 applicants will be notified by August 1 and will be scheduled to present their organization's project at a committee meeting beginning in the fall of 2025. 

Applicants who are awarded a grant from the garden tour will receive their funds in March 2026. They will not be eligible to apply the following year, to allow more organizations to compete for funds. For more detail on eligibility criteria, please see our Guidelines for Potential Grantees.
