Seeking input on next Working WA small business grants with focus on arts and heritage sector
Public comments welcome through March 16

The Washington State Department of Commerce is seeking feedback to develop the next round of COVID-19 small business economic recovery grants. Of the $70 million anticipated to go to Round 5 of Working Washington grants, two-thirds is expected to go to the arts and heritage sector. The final total of funds available will be known after the current legislative session.

The toll taken by the pandemic on the creative economy is staggering-and ongoing.

Across 121 nonprofits surveyed, responses showed a nearly $100 million drop in overall revenue - an average loss of almost $800,000 per organization - and a $131.6 million reduction in operating budgets. At the same time, audiences are dramatically reduced: 48% fewer cultural participants reported monthly or more event attendance.

We are seeking input to inform best use of the available funding to achieve the greatest possible impact and equity. We encourage you to invite key partners to participate.
