The City of Ferndale provides grants to various human services and economic development organizations to help support unhoused, low-income, and senior residents, and to promote economic development within the City.
The challenge given the City’s inability to serve all needs for all people and all businesses is to determine how to create the greatest impact with available funding. Proposals will be evaluated by City Staff and approved or denied by the Ferndale City Council as part of the budget process.
DEADLINE IS SEPTEMBER 1st, 2024. Interested organizations can fill out the application found here.
Please email completed applications and any questions to Deputy City Clerk Michelle Williams at michellewilliams@cityofferndale.org or 360-685-2358.
City Offices will be closed on Thursday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day. Emergency services can be reached by dialing 9-1-1. City Offices will be open again on Friday, July 5th for regular business hours.
As we approach Independence Day, it is important for everyone to celebrate safely. Please remember, the only legal times to shoot off fireworks in the City are on July 4th from 9:00 a.m. to midnight. If you choose to use fireworks, please make sure to have a water source handy, only set them off on a level surface, and do not attempt to relight a dud or defective firework.
Wishing the Ferndale Community a happy and safe Fourth of July!

Do you have a good idea for some tourism-related activities? We are now accepting applications for our Lodging Tax Grant Program!
This program uses funds collected when people stay at local hotels, motels or RV parks to help encourage additional tourism in Ferndale.
Funding from the program may be used directly by local jurisdictions, or indirectly through a convention and visitors bureau or destination marketing organization, for the marketing and operations of special events and festivals and to support the operations and capital expenditures of tourism-related facilities owned by nonprofit organizations described under section 501(c)(3) and section 501(c)(6) of the internal revenue code of 1986, as amended.
The Lodging Tax Grant Program is managed by the Deputy City Clerk, and recommendations on funding are made by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee to the City Council, which has final say over allocation of funding.
DEADLINE IS JULY 31st, 2024. No exceptions. You can find the application here.
