Economic Alliance Snohomish County (EASC) on Feb. 19 announced the recipients of the Activate Snohomish Community Grant Program, awarding a total of $85,000 to 22 businesses and municipalities across Snohomish County. Each grant is designed to support local readiness and engagement ahead of FIFA World Cup 26 Seattle™.
Funded by the Seattle Foundation with support from the Washington State Department of Commerce, this program provides targeted investments to help Snohomish County businesses, nonprofits, and communities capitalize on the unique tourism, economic, and cultural opportunities presented by the tournament.
“Our region’s preparedness for major events is central to Snohomish County’s economic resilience,” says Ray Stephanson, President & CEO of EASC. “These investments will help local employers and municipalities stand out and provide value to visitors and locals alike during this world-class event.”
Awardees were selected through a multi-phase review process by a grant review committee made up of EASC economic development and community engagement staff and external community stakeholders, evaluated by weighted scoring rubric.
