Grant funds may not be used for political activity.

Grant funds are not intended to support infrastructure or ongoing operational costs of locally funded governmental organizations, except where the organization is seeking grant funding to support one or more one-time volunteer events.

King County reserves the right to determine the nature and manner in which costs and items will be paid for in any grant.

Funding recipients must acknowledge King County’s contribution to the funded event or project.

The grant recipient is responsible for establishing a record keeping system that includes a breakdown of cash and in-kind contributions as well as grant funds, and must keep these records for three years after the project is finished.

Tax reporting is the responsibility of the grant recipient.
