Community organizations in Snoqualmie are once again receiving some financial contributions from the city.
Every year the city of Snoqualmie takes 1 percent of its general budget and allocates it to various local organizations that serve children, seniors and people in need.
To receive funding, organizations must apply with the city’s Human Services Committee. Once the applications are received, the committee makes recommendations as to which organizations receive money and how much they receive.
For 2016, the city provided $134,000 for the 15 organizations that applied. Of those 15 organizations, the Human Services Committee recommended
- $14,500 for the Valley Renewal Center
- $30,000 for Encompass
- $15,000 for Friends of Youth
- $3,000 for Lifewire
- $25,000 for Mount Si Senior Center
- $2,000 for the Si View Community Foundation
- $5,000 for the Snoqualmie Valley Community Network
- $30,000 for the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank
- $500 for the Sno Valley Pet Food Bank
- $1,000 for the Sno Valley Indoor Playground
- $5,000 for St. Vincent de Paul and
- $3,000 for Two Rivers School.
Organizations such as Community Connections of Snoqualmie Valley Congregations for the Homeless, North Bend Community Church and Snoqualmie Firefighters Association applied for, but did not receive funding.
