Eight Enumclaw-based organizations will be receiving thousands in King County grants this year for their work in their community.

The Nov. 15 announcement was made by Councilmember Reagan Dunn after the grants were approved by the county council.

“These funds serve as an investment in the Enumclaw community,” Dunn said in a prepared statement. “Each of these groups enriches Enumclaw through their work — whether it be by providing opportunities for youth to join an athletic team, or by sharing about the rich heritage of the area. I’m proud to be able to deliver this support.”

The organizations receiving grant money, which totals $31,500, are:

• The Enumclaw Schools Foundation received a $2,000 Community Services Operating Grant

• The Enumclaw Plateau Historical Society received a $2,000 Community Services Operating Grant

• VFW Post 1949 received a $2,500 Veterans Service Organizations Grant

• The Enumclaw School District received a $5,000 Youth and Amateur Sports Grant

• The City of Enumclaw received a $5,000 Youth and Amateur Sports Grant

• Chinook Little League received a $5,000 Youth and Amateur Sports Grant

• Cascade Foothills Soccer Club received a $5,000 Youth and Amateur Sports Grant

• Enumclaw Jr. Fastball received a $5,000 Youth and Amateur Sports Grant

“The local organizations in Enumclaw that are recipients of the King County grants are all a vital part of our community,” Mayor Jan Molinaro said in a prepared statement. “Veterans and youth will greatly benefit from this funding, and I appreciate the financial assistance Councilmember Reagan Dunn and the King County Council have provided. The funding comes at a critical time for each entity to plan for 2023 activities.”
