Non-Best Starts for Kids Funding Opportunities List – September to November deadlines

Editor’s note 9/23/25: This post has been updated to include a new funding opportunity on page 7 of the Upcoming Funding Opportunities list (Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce: World Cup Ready Grants).

At Best Starts we are working to build long-term sustainable supports for our community so that every baby born and child raised is happy, healthy, safe and thriving. Part of building sustainable systems is recognizing we can’t do it all on our own.   

We will always promote our Best Starts funding opportunities here on the blog and our website. But we’re also posting a monthly blog series, highlighting funding opportunities from other agencies and organizations that support groups that promote the health and well-being of our babies, children, and young people.  

If you know of other grant opportunities that would serve babies, children and youth in King County, please let us know and we will include them in the next posting. These opportunities are not intended to be a recommendation from King County to apply for these opportunities. These opportunities will not be right for every organization. Organizations must do their own research to make sure an opportunity is the right thing for their organization. This list is intended to be a service to our community and service organizations. 

Best Starts is not involved in the applications or decisions of the following funding opportunities. 

Non-Best Starts Funding Opportunities 

Tips for using this list: 

  • Upcoming Funding Opportunities are ordered by due date. So opportunities that are due sooner, will appear first. 
  • The first list includes funding opportunities with upcoming deadlines. The second list, further down the page, includes funding opportunities that accept applications on a rolling basis.
