OLYMPIA — The state Department of Commerce and the Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs are accepting applications for a total of $1.75 in COVID-19 recovery grants for local non-profit veterans service organizations.
The two departments are looking to focus on organizations that have not been helped by state pandemic response aid and assistance, according to a press release from the Department of Commerce.
The grants can be used to cover pandemic-related expenses incurred from March 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, to help organizations deal with “financial hardships” as a result of the state’s COVID-19 response.
However, the grants cannot be used to cover expenses previously covered by other aid programs, such as the Paycheck Protection Program, the press release said.
