Join us for a small business webinar for Racism is a Public Health Crisis grants
King County, in partnership with The Gathering Collaborative, began accepting applications for $25 million worth of grants for small businesses, non-profits and other groups that are dismantling systemic racism, working to undo its harms, and addressing racism as a public health crisis.
In March of 2022, The Gathering Collaborative, a group of diverse community members, along with co-chairs Abigail Echo-Hawk, Dr. Ben Danielson, and Executive Dow Constantine, formed to uplift Black and Indigenous people and their communities. The Gathering Collaborative is a community co-creation effort with a main goal to determine how to equitably distribute $25 million to advance economic and racial justice through a grantmaking process.
Join us for a virtual small business webinar Monday, March 6, 2023 from 10-11:30 a.m.
Learn about why you should apply, the details of the grants, and meet technical assistance providers who can help you!
