Funding Barriers Request - Tribes and Local Partners

Thank you for engaging in this work with PSP’s Strategic Funding Team. Your knowledge and willingness to share your experiences with us in relation to various funding barriers is needed to tackle these huge issues together. While you do not have to respond to every prompt, we do ask that you provide as much detail as possible when available.


Please respond to each prompt that applies to you. If you have any questions about these prompts, what we are looking to learn, and/or need clarification, please email Funding Barrier Strategist, Jessica Reynolds, at jessica.reynolds@psp.wa.gov. There is a chance that we may follow-up with you if we need to clarify any information you provided.
