Bail Assistance offered by Northwest Community Bail Fund
Eligibility
Due to the disproportionate impacts the criminal punishment system has on Black, Indigenous, people of color and transgender people, and our limited funding, NCBF prioritizes requests for these individuals. Factors that we will additionally prioritize and consider include but are not limited to health factors, pregnancy, impending loss of job, housing or shelter bed, caretaking responsibilities, and potential separation of families. When submitting a request, please provide as much information as possible. Any details around the timing of losing access to something are very helpful.

We post bail directly to the courts: in the same way any other community member would post without going through a bail bond agency. Once someone’s case has ended and they’ve attended all of their court dates, we then get the bail money we posted returned back to us. This way, we’re able to operate a revolving fund.
We post bail in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties in Washington State. We cannot assist with requests for bail outside of these counties.
