If you are a community or faith-based organization in Washington state, we invite you to complete the application for our new grant to promote awareness and education about dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The deadline to submit the application is 11:59 p.m. on April 4, 2025.
To request an alternate format of the application, please email tiffany.turner@doh.wa.gov. Only one application can be submitted per organization.
Application Scoring
We hope to fund all applicants who apply who meet the requirements. However, if more applications are received than can be funded, the grant advisory group consisting of community leaders and those who serve highly impacted populations will assist in determining final selection using defined scoring criteria.
The criteria to be considered but not required include:
- Organizations that focus on serving communities who are most heavily impacted by rates of dementia including Black/African American, Hispanic, or American Indian/Alaska Native.
- Organizations implementing grant activities in rural counties or counties with more than 11% of beneficiaries with any type of dementia.
- Organization’s explanation of how grant activities will be implemented.
The committee will attempt to have a mix of awardees from locations across the state, a mix of urban and rural, and a mix of diverse populations served as they decide on the final awardee list. A notification of award will be made by DOH around April 18, 2025.
If you have any questions about the grant or concerns about meeting the grant requirements, please contact Tiffany Turner at tiffany.turner@doh.wa.gov or 360-764-3174.
