Summary

The Lacey City Council voted unanimously on June 2 to adopt an updated human services grant policy for 2026 that changes award limits and application scoring.
Staff recommended "Option 3," which removes an administrative cap on awards, sets maximum awards at $30,000 for service projects and $50,000 for capital projects, allows no minimum ask, and adds scoring points for the number of Lacey residents served and for priority program areas. A council member moved the recommendation and a second was recorded; the motion passed unanimously.
Council members were given notice that applications would open the next day. Staff said implementation details and application materials will be posted for prospective applicants.
What happens next: The grant application period opens tomorrow; awards will be made under the new scoring criteria and maximums approved by council.
