City of Lacey Community and Cultural Events grant application now open

The application period for the City of Lacey’s new Community and Cultural Events Grant (CCEG) pilot program is open now through Friday, Feb. 27, according to a recent news release.

The pilot program supports nonprofit-led events that help build connection, visibility, and belonging across Lacey. The program is designed to boost community-driven celebrations while providing a clear, equitable path to City funding.

An event may be a good fit if it:

• Advances city-adopted goals, policies, and strategic priorities, aligned with the Lacey City Council’s mission, vision, and motto.
• Creates a welcoming, inclusive environment for the community.
• Benefits Lacey’s diverse populations.
• Is open to the general public and free to attend.
• Takes place in the City of Lacey or its Urban Growth Area.

Nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status registered with the Washington Secretary of State, and organizations applying with an eligible fiscal sponsor can both apply.
