The Tulalip Tribes is a federally recognized tribe
and successors in interest to the Snohomish,
Snoqualmie, Skykomish, and other allied tribes and
bands that signed the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott.
The Tulalip Tribes Grants Management Office is dedicated to efficiently tracking and managing grants throughout their lifecycle—from application and research to implementation, reporting, and project closeout. Established within the Administration Division, the Grants Management Office is responsible for developing, revising, and distributing official grants policies and procedures. This office coordinates and tracks all grant applications, awards, and major project management decisions, providing technical assistance to all departments in interpreting and applying private, local, state, federal, and tribal grants policies, laws, and regulations.
The Grants Management Office actively researches grant opportunities and consults with the CEO/COO, Executive Directors, and Managers to determine the timeliness, appropriateness, and need for specific grants. The office also collaborates with various committees and commissions to identify tribal initiatives that may require grant funding.
All prospective grant opportunities must be approved by the Grants Manager/Grants Management Office before proposal development. The Grants Manager/Grants Management Office will notify the Financial Accountant Coordinator/Finance Department of all prospective grant applications that include a match requirement, whether cash or in-kind. All grant applications requiring a cash match or in-kind contribution must be approved by tribal resolution.
Department Program Managers are required to fill out a Grant Application Pre-Approval Form and submit it to the Grants Manager/Grants Management Office. This form summarizes the Request for Proposals (RFP) and ensures that all necessary approvals are obtained before proceeding with the grant application.
