On this wiki, Puget Sound Ecosystem Funding is a network of federal, state and local programs, which allocate primarily state and federal tax and bond resources to a variety of Efforts. Funding is usually associated with a planning system--for example, funding for salmon is largely driven by Salmon Recovery Planning. Efforts that meet the most important needs of the right plan, and meet other criteria generally get funds. Most Federal funding systems work on an annual basis. Most State funding systems are organized on a biennial cycle driven by the Washington State Capital Budget.

One of the best ways to understand how ecological work happens in Puget Sound is to understand the mechanics of the funding system. The quantity of resources allocated to different needs describes a status quo values system measurable in dollars. Local Jurisdictions vary widely in their allocation of public resources to ecological work. Observing how local government funding is organized around ecosystem work provides a useful gauge of local effort.
