The Grant Explainer

The current Port of Seattle grant programs began in 2016 with a proposal by Commissioner John Creighton–responding to the uproar over the Flight Corridor Safety Program. As the name implies, the Airport Community Ecology (ACE) Fund (2016–2020) was meant as an environmental grants program. In late 2018 the Port created a separate, much broader South King County Fund (later renamed the South King County Community Impact Fund, (SKCCIF). In 2020, the ACE program was folded into the SKCCIF’s environmental track and its geographic area expanded to all of South King County. In 2025, the Port Commission again renamed and expanded the program to the South King County and Port Communities Fund (SKCPF). All programs are funded via the Property Tax Levy.

September 9, 2025 the Port of Seattle officially renames the South King County Community Impact Fund to the South King and Port Communities Fund (SKPCF) to reflect expanded geographic eligibility that includes additional areas in King County identified by the Port’s Equity Index, beyond just South King County. Matching is now 2:1. Ten grants, totaling $2,700,000 for EOC were awarded; none specifically to airport communities. The $500,000 environmental funds has not been awarded.

Relationship between ACE and SKCCIF

ACE (2016–2020): Environmental projects/grants focused on near-airport communities. (Motion 2016-05 · 2017 launch)
SKC Fund → SKCCIF (2018–2024): Broader umbrella (environmental improvements, economic opportunity, WMBE support), with an Environmental Grants Program deliberately modeled on and continuing ACE.

The current official program name is South King County Community Impact Fund (SKCCIF). Its economic track is now Economic Opportunities for Communities (EOC). (Order 2021-12 · SKCCIF overview · EOC page)
