The Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) and the Washington State Bar Foundation (WSBF) seek two community members who have worked and/or lived in communities impacted by systemic racism and oppression to serve on a selection panel for the 2025 Powerful Communities Grant. Community members who serve on the panel and have lived experience of systemic racism and oppression will each receive a $500 stipend.
Selection Panel Member Role The overall time commitment is estimated to be 10 hours. The expectation is that selection panelists will take four to six hours to review and rate applications. The remaining time will be used to meet with the selection panel to decide on the final grantees. We will likely meet once for two to three hours.
We welcome all community members to apply! No need for previous experience on a selection committee.
All applications are due by December 31st, 2024. If you have any questions about the process, please email joyced@wsba.org.
