Commerce is now accepting applications from qualified organizations to help support the Community Reinvestment Program’s Local Advisory Teams (LATs) as regional intermediaries. CRP LAT intermediaries play a critical role in advancing:
- Community-led decision making
- Regional funding implementation
- Equitable investment in violence prevention and youth mentorship
What CRP LAT Intermediaries do
Organizations selected as LAT intermediaries will be responsible for:
- Supporting the formation, onboarding and ongoing facilitation of LATs
- Providing grantmaking and fiscal management support for regional violence prevention investments
- Offering technical assistance and capacity-building to community-based by-and-for organizations
- Partnering with Commerce and local stakeholders to ensure transparent, inclusive and accountable investments
CRP’s LATs are composed of community members with lived experience and local expertise. They help guide how CRP resources are invested in different regions across Washington. Intermediaries are essential to ensuring these teams are well-supported, effective and positioned to make informed recommendations.
Eligibility
Commerce encourages applications from organizations with demonstrated experience in:
- Equitable grantmaking and fiscal sponsorship
- Community-centered facilitation and relationship-building
- Supporting smaller, emerging and culturally specific organizations
- Working across diverse regions and communities
Organizations may apply to serve one or more regions, as outlined in the RFP.
Funding amounts
Commerce has budgeted a specific amount for this project. Please see page 7 of the CRP LAT Intermediary RFP document for each
region’s allotted amount.
