Introduction
Background
RCW 43.63A.125 established the Building Communities Fund (BCF) in 2008, directing the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) to administer the program. BCF grants 25% matching funds to nonprofit organizations
for acquiring, constructing or rehabilitating facilities used for the delivery of social or health services. It is
financed through the sale of state bonds. Each even-numbered year, Commerce solicits BCF applications with
no maximum funding limit and submits them for funding consideration.
Specifically, RCW 43.63A.125 (3) and (4) directs Commerce to:
(3) The department shall submit biennially to the governor and the legislature in the department's capital budget
request a ranked list of the qualified eligible projects for which applications were received. The list must include a
description of each project, its total cost, and the amount of state funding requested. The appropriate fiscal
committees of the legislature shall use this list to determine building communities fund projects that may receive
funding in the capital budget. The total amount of state capital funding available for all projects on the biennial list
shall be determined by the capital budget beginning with the 2009-2011 biennium and thereafter. In addition, if cash
funds have been appropriated, up to $3,000,000 may be used for technical assistance grants. The department shall
not sign contracts or otherwise financially obligate funds under this section until the legislature has approved a
specific list of projects.
(4) In addition to the list of ranked qualified eligible projects, the department shall submit to the appropriate fiscal
committees of the legislature a summary report that describes the solicitation and evaluation processes, including
but not limited to the number of applications received, the total amount of funding requested, issues encountered, if
any, and any recommendations for process improvements.
Role of the BCF Advisory Board
BCF's authorizing statute directs Commerce to develop and administer a competitive grant process. A key
component is reviewing applications in consultation with a citizen advisory board. The BCF Advisory Board
(Board), which Commerce recruited and appointed, consists of volunteers with expertise administering or
advocating on behalf of community nonprofit organizations throughout the state. The board also helps
develop program policy, review applications and recommend projects for the governor and Legislature to
review.
The 2025-2027 Board convened in October 2024 to review and rank applications. The Board used the 10
evaluation benchmarks established in BCF statute to evaluate them.
Recommended project list
At the conclusion of the work session, the Board approved a ranked list of 38 qualified eligible projects totaling
$49,082,585 for submittal to the governor for consideration in the 2025-2027 State Capital Budget. The
Legislature will make the final determination regarding which projects, if any, will be included in the capital
budget. The full list of projects is available in Table 1.

Recommendations
Commerce recommends a focus on two areas of improvement that will lower barriers to access and project
deliverability for BCF grantees. These recommendations may also likely increase the number of potential
applicants and requests for state funds that advance important community projects.
• Consider a state match increase
• Consider alternatives to contract reimbursements for nonprofits in lieu of the current model
In addition to these two recommendations and over the last two biennia, Commerce received technical
assistance funding in alignment with authority provided under RCW 43.63A.125(3) to assist prospective BCF
applicants to access these state funds. Activities under this authority include capacity building and pre-
development of projects vital to support non-residential social services in overburdened communities. Greater
detail on how BCF provided technical assistance in 2023-25 is described below.
Increase state match
Currently BCF can match up to 25% of eligible capital costs and is a barrier to advancing social services
provided by nonprofit organizations. An increase in the allowable state match would lead with equity to
improve assistance to all grant recipients.
The enabling statute does allow the department to reduce the amount of non-state match required under
"exceptional circumstances," which include but are not limited to:
2025-2027 BUILDING COMMUNITIES FUND REPORT 6
• Natural disasters affecting projects;
• Emergencies beyond an applicant's control, such as a fire or an unanticipated loss of a lease where
services are currently provided; or
• Delay that could result in a threat to public health or safety.
Due to the force majeure nature of these circumstances, the Board has chosen to use this exemption for only
one project - when the Coastal Community Action Partners lost their facility due to fire in 2018.
If the goal is to reduce barriers to access for disadvantaged and lower capacity organizations, lower match
requirements should be set for organizations that meet a definition of disadvantaged or low capacity (such as,
organizational size, geographic location, by-and-for organizations, organizations that have never received
previous state grants, or other criteria). Alternatively, match could also be set as a goal instead of a
requirement. Projects with higher match amounts could be evaluated and ranked higher on the recommended
projects list, but having a lower match amount wouldn't disqualify a project from applying or receiving funding
consideration.
Explore updates to contract reimbursement
BCF grants (like many other capital grants at Commerce) are distributed on a reimbursement basis and are
often paid on a time-and-expense reimbursement basis. That is, after the work has been completed and the
expense has been incurred by the grantee. For many organizations, especially smaller nonprofits, the
reimbursement approach is a burden to applying for competitive grants and delivering capital projects.
Commerce continues to assess internal policies and practices to improve programs and better meet the needs
of community grantees, especially those in overburdened communities. As such, Commerce is reviewing its
statutory authority and working with partner agencies in the executive branch, along with current and
prospective grantees, to explore solutions that improve equity in our contract reimbursement capabilities.
2025-2027 BUILDING COMMUNITIES FUND REPORT 7
Program next steps
The BCF program is housed in the Capital Programs Section of the Community Capital Facilities Unit (CCF) and
is a key driver in Commerce's overall mission to strengthen communities. In the 2025-27 biennium, the
Legislature appropriated over $300 million to this section across many different funds, and ongoing programs
and one-time appropriations. This section has 19 staff working to meet the administrative requirements of
more than 800 projects. In addition, staff manage an additional 200 to 400 projects that have received re-
appropriation of their capital grants. The total dollar value of projects managed by staff in any one biennium
can therefore be approximately $500 to $800 million.
This experience and subject matter expertise is critical for both the BCF program team and communities as it
supports the development of critical educational resources about the many state laws, rules and guidelines
that inform requirements for Commerce funding. Many projects must also meet additional state and/or federal
requirements. The CCF Resource Toolkit is located on the CCF webpage and is a great example of our work to
provide technical assistance and education so that grant recipients may successfully manage state funding
requirements and deliver their community projects.
As we apply our shared expertise in capital programs administration, we also build upon our 2021 program
evaluation to provide technical assistance, including pre-development funding, and to continue community
outreach and engagement for prospective BCF applicants.
Technical assistance
Pre-development costs pose a significant barrier to building communities. Applying for a BCF grant requires
significant pre-development operational costs, especially for by-and-for and Black, Indigenous, and People of
Color (BIPOC) led organizations as well as small, rural organizations. Most of these organization's staff are
direct service providers and must also perform administrative duties, which may include grant writing, internal
auditing and evaluation, fundraising, and financial management. In addition, staff also manage day-to-day
business activities such as business plan development, marketing, outreach and engagement, strategic
planning, customer service, employee engagement, and human resources.
In 2023-2025, the Legislature appropriate $850,000 for Commerce to provide technical assistance to
organizations interested in applying for BCF grants. Along with to-be-contracted community capital project
expert partners, Commerce is planning to facilitate a monthly workshop at locations across the state each
spring and summer for as long as funding is available to continue the work. Workshops will prepare potential
applicants to meet capital funding and contracting requirements, develop capacity to raise match funds, and
understand state requirements, such as LEED certification, prevailing wages, and Executive Order 21-02.
Commerce is planning regional workshops across Washington, including:
• Anacortes
• Bellingham
• Pasco
• Seattle
• Spokane
• Vancouver
• Wenatchee
• Yakima
2025-2027 BUILDING COMMUNITIES FUND REPORT 8
Content at the workshops will be helpful to all prospective capital grant program applicants. While BCF
applicants will be prioritized, prospective applicants to other state capital grant programs will also be
welcomed to register for the workshops on a space-available basis.
It is not always a lack of knowledge and expertise, but a lack of funds to conduct the necessary pre-
development work, which impedes these organizations from conducting necessary pre-development work.
This work can include developing an operations business plan, a project feasibility study, a fundraising
feasibility plan, and an annual report, among the many other activities involved in real-estate acquisition and
construction of capital facilities.
Continue program outreach
Virtual workshops provide more access to rural, BIPOC led, and by-and-for led organizations to participate in
community outreach and engagement. While digital divides still exist in Washington, especially for rural and
BIPOC communities, virtual workshops provided staff the opportunity to engage with more organizations and
allowed more equitable access to information. Adopting new tools of engagement allowed for more effective
question and answer sessions and provided an opportunity for BCF to better market itself. Many organizations
referred other organizations to apply after they attended a virtual workshop.
Commerce has also continued to utilize the BCF Outreach Tool, as described in 2022 BCF legislative report.
Since its development, the tool has assisted programs at Commerce and other agencies (Agriculture and
Ecology) to identify organizations whose mission may align with the purpose of funding and to conduct further
community engagement.

Distressed communities
The Building Communities Fund (BCF) was established in 2008, replacing the Community Services Facilities
Program established in 1997. This report is submitted to meet the requirements of RCW 43.63A.125.
BCF directs Commerce to identify qualified community and social service capital projects in distressed areas
of the state and to evaluate and submit a ranked list of these projects to the governor and Legislature. These
facilities must be used to deliver nonresidential community services, such as social service centers and
multipurpose community centers, including those serving a distinct or ethnic population.
A distressed community must include at least one of the following characteristics:
• A county that has an unemployment rate that is 20% above the state average for the previous three
years
• An area within a county that the department determines to be a low-income community, based on the
low-income community designations in the U.S. Department of the Treasury-Community Development
Financial Institutions Fund’s new markets tax credit program
• A school district in which at least 50% of local elementary students receive free or reduced-price meals
In addition, RCW 43.63A.125 directs Commerce to:
• Establish a competitive process to solicit and evaluate applications from nonprofit organizations
• Evaluate applications in consultation with a citizen advisory board using objective criteria
• Submit biennially to the governor in the department’s capital budget request a ranked list of the
qualified eligible projects
• Submit biennially a summary report that describes the solicitation and evaluation process
• Develop and manage contracts as well as monitor project expenditures and grantee performance
Submit a biennial report to the appropriate fiscal committees of the Legislature beginning Jan. 1, 2011.
Eligibility criteria
In the 2025-2027 application cycle, BCF staff reviewed 62 submitted applications to ensure they met eligibility
thresholds. Guidelines stipulate that applicants must:
• Be registered in the state as a nonprofit organization
• Have a legally constituted board of directors
• Agree to enter the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification process or apply
for and receive an exemption
• Certify that state prevailing wages will be paid
• Have control of the project site through ownership or long-term lease agreement
After completing a preliminary review to determine eligibility, program staff forwarded 42 applications to the
BCF Advisory Board (Board) for review.
2025-2027 BUILDING COMMUNITIES FUND REPORT 14
Project eligibility criteria
To be forwarded to the governor for funding consideration, projects must acquire, construct or rehabilitate a
nonresidential facility used to deliver community services (such as social service and multipurpose community
centers), including those serving a distinct or ethnic population. Projects must also be located in a distressed
community or serve a substantial number of low-income or disadvantaged people.
Projects must meet at least one of the following criteria:
• Be located in a distressed county, as defined by the state Employment Security Department
• Be located in an area designated as a low-income community in the U.S. Department of the Treasury-
Community Development Financial Institutions Fund’s new markets tax credit program
• Be located in a school district in which at least 50% of local elementary students receive free or
reduced-price meals
• Demonstrate that at least 40% of service recipients are at or below 200% of the U.S. Dept. of Health and
Human Services Poverty Level Guidelines or;
• Qualify as “disadvantaged” as outlined by the federal Small Business Administration’s Individual
Determinations of Social and Economic Disadvantage.
The Board used the 10 evaluation benchmarks set forth in statute as a template for evaluating applications. To
be forwarded to the governor for funding consideration, applicants had to demonstrate to the Board’s
satisfaction that their project met each of the following 10 criteria:
1. The project will increase the range, efficiency or quality of the services provided to citizens.
2. The project will be located in a distressed community or will serve a substantial number of low-income
or disadvantaged people.
3. The project will offer a diverse set of activities that meet multiple community service objectives. That
could include, but is not limited to, providing social services, expanding employment opportunities for
or increasing the employability of community residents, or offering educational or recreational
opportunities separate from the public school system or private schools as long as recreation is not the
sole purpose of the facility.
4. The project will reflect a long-term vision shared by residents, businesses, leaders and partners for the
development of the community.
5. The project will require state funding to accomplish a discrete, usable phase of the project.
6. The project is ready to proceed and will make timely use of the funds.
7. The project is sponsored by one or more entities that have the organizational and financial capacity to
fulfill the terms of the grant agreement and maintain the project into the future.
8. The project will fill an unmet need for community services.
9. The project will achieve its stated objectives.
10. The project is a community priority as shown through tangible commitments of existing or future
assets made to the project by community residents, leaders, businesses and government partners.
Application solicitation process
The BCF solicitation process consists of five main elements:
• email announcements and notifications
• prominent posting on the funding opportunities section of the Commerce webpage
2025-2027 BUILDING COMMUNITIES FUND REPORT 15
• posting BCF application information and resources on the program webpage,
• outreach and engagement workshops, and
• application workshops.
Commerce assembled an email list of organizations that might have an interest in applying for funding through
BCF, and each received BCF application notices. In cases where umbrella organizations did not release their
proprietary mailing lists to Commerce, each organization agreed to distribute BCF information in its regular
newsletter to members. Participating organizations included:
• Community Action Agencies
• Association of Washington Cities
• Washington State Association of Counties
• Nonprofit organizations listed with the Office of the Secretary of State
• Commission on African American Affairs
• Commission on Hispanic Affairs
• Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs
• Governor’s Office of Indian Affairs
• Indian tribes in Washington state
• YMCAs and YWCAs
• Boys & Girls Clubs
Existing Commerce mailing lists of community nonprofit organizations (approximately 7,000)
All organizations or individuals who contacted Commerce concerning the BCF program or were referred by the
Office of the Governor, the Office of Financial Management or the Legislature
The BCF webpage on the Commerce website offers information about BCF, including application guidelines,
forms and a link to the online application. For outreach, staff conducted an online application workshop in
June, 2024 with over 200 people in attendance. The 2025-2027 BCF application timetable spanned June
through late October 2024:
• Applications available: June 20, 2024
• Online workshop: June 26, 2024
• Applications due to Commerce: August 22, 2024
• Board hearings: October 21-23, 2024
