Community Partner Funds

As we prepare the 2025-2026 Budget, we invite you to be part of the process with respect to funding non-profit and government organizations that serve Sumner. We appreciate partnerships with other organizations that provide social support and programs that serve our residents. This process gives returning partners the chance to tell the City exactly the kind of support you need in the next two years, your past partnerships with the City, and opens the door to potential new partners.

The Process

Please fill out the application below by July 31, 2024. These are your funding requests for the years 2025 and/or 2026. You don’t have to specify which year but keep in mind, this is your two-year request. Late submissions will not be considered. Please review the Tips for Success for further details.

Eligibility

• Only non-profit 501(c)3 or 501(c)6 or government organizations will be considered for funding.
• Funds are not available for acquisition, leasing, or maintenance and operations of government owned buildings (e.g. school district, library, city)
• Funds may not be used solely to fund staff salaries, pay off debts or provide scholarships.

Recognition

Funded organizations will thank the people of Sumner for their support at the level appropriate for equivalent supporters/sponsors. Recognition must be public and may be on website, printed newsletter, printed ads, annual report or similar. Coordinate use of the City logo with the Communications Director.
