The mission of the Maritime Washington Grant Program is to support work that strengthens, maintains, and shares maritime heritage in Washington. Before applying, please review details about this program’s requirements and eligibility in our Program Guide. If you have any questions about this application, we encourage you to check out our FAQs page, join Maritime Washington staff for virtual office hours on Tuesday, March 4th at 12:00 pm (Register Here), or contact us at [email protected].
Please submit your application via our online form, which will be open from February 7 through March 31, 2025.
To avoid losing your work, please plan to submit your application in one sitting. Before you start the online application, you will need:
- Prepared application answers. We strongly recommend downloading a copy of the application questions and preparing your answers in a separate document in advance of completing this form. Download a copy of the application questions here. (Recommended)
- Federally-issued Unique Entity ID. The federal government is requiring a new Unique Entity ID (UEI) to replace the DUNS number for all organizations receiving federal funds. As this grant program is federally-funded, you will need to include your UEI in your application. If you need help to obtain a Unique Entity ID, please visit the SAM.gov website for assistance. There is NO CHARGE for this number. Once on the SAM.gov site, please look to the right of the screen. It will state: Register Your Entity or Get a Unique Entity ID. Please enter this portal, and it will walk you through the steps to obtain a UEI. (Please note: you do not need to register your organization in SAM.gov—you simply just need to get a Unique Entity ID). (Required)
- Completed Project Budget Worksheet. Please download the worksheet here. (Required)
- Supporting Documents. Up to five photos/documents illustrating your project planning and/or budgeting, and any letters of support. (Optional)
We estimate that this application will take you no more than two to three hours to complete. For any additional support, please contact us at [email protected].
All applicants will be notified by the end of April 2025. Grant contracts will be drafted in May 2025.
