Each application demonstrates significant need for financial support within our sector. A low number of applications jeopardizes the survival of cultural programming across the state and undercuts the argument for further public support. Who Can Apply? Artists, museums, theatres, science centers, zoos, dance companies, welders, woodworkers, painters, voice over actors, symphonies, writers, music groups, cultural centers, film companies, aquariums, performance venues, singers, booster clubs that support culture, yarn artists, circus performers, professional dancers, teaching artists, performance venue technicians, and many more! Many volunteer-driven organizations weren't eligible for past relief funding but that's not the case with Working Washington: Round 5. This relief program is for nearly every cultural business!

It no longer uses the DUNS (Data Universal Number System) and has shifted to a new system known as the UEI (Unique Entity Identifier). As of April 2022, recipients of grants using federal funds (including WW5!) are required to have a UEI, which replaces the DUNS Number. You can apply for the grant without the UEI, but you will not be able to accept your grant money until you have a UEI. It may take several weeks to get a UEI after registration, so start applying now!
