Olympia Funds Youth Climate Projects | Seattle News
Description
Olympia’s launching a big new grant program to fuel youth climate action—up to $5,000 for young-led projects tackling environmental issues, backed by a $50K Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors grant. City council approved it July 28, aiming to fund eight projects across the 2026-27 school year through a partnership between the Olympia Climate Program and Youth Council. Applications open now, due Sept 15—teams must have two teens aged 15–24, a sponsoring org, and projects must be in or benefit Olympia. Focus areas: sustainable transit, waste reduction, and community engagement. Free brainstorming event Aug 27 at Harbor House 4–6 PM. Total funding: $40K to projects, $10K admin. A powerful chance for young changemakers to lead—and maybe unlock more support later.
