Hello,

Thank you to everyone who attended the Washington State Department of Commerce's Federal Funds Grant Writing Assistance Program workshop last week. I hope you found it helpful.   

I am aware that many organizations have experienced an illegal freezing or cancelation of federal funds from the Trump Administration. If you are requesting assistance with a federal funding issue, you can fill out this form here. 

You can also learn more about grants on my website here. For any federal grant, you are welcome to request a letter of support to submit alongside your application. I wish you the best of luck on your grant application and please don't hesitate to reach out to my office if we can be of assistance.

While I can assist you in bringing your application to the attention of the proper officials and guide you through the process, I cannot direct an agency to decide a matter in your favor. The agency must make its decision within the framework of the law and existing rules and regulations.

If you need technical assistance with your grant application or finding funding opportunities, please complete our form or contact my Grants Coordinator at triniti.gorbunova@mail.house.gov. If you are interested in obtaining a letter of support for your grant application, please complete our letter of support application here.

Sincerely,

Adam Smith
Member of Congress
