Small Business Response, Resilience, Reopen, Recover Together
OneEastside was formed to respond to the COVID-19 crisis by providing small businesses and non-profits with tools, resources, and other forms of assistance that they need to pivot, recover, and build resiliency. Key activities have included building the Eastside Recovery Hub and launching OneEastside SPARK, Center for Business Resilience and Innovation. OneEastside also hosts the Eastside Small Business Resiliency Fund.
OneEastside SPARK
Expanding upon the work of the Eastside Recovery Hub, OneEastside SPARK provides responsive programing and tools to address key areas of need amongst small businesses and non-profits in East King County as they evolve.
Programs
Hear from small business loan experts, government representatives, health institutions, and others as they provide updates on small business and non-profit support programs and technical assistance to help your company survive and grow during these challenging times.
On-demand Small Business Development Center (SBDC) webinars are available here.
Eastside Small Business Resiliency Fund
While businesses have greatly benefited from federal and local grants and loans, they continue to tell us that they also need a suite of technical supports, mentoring, and equipment in order to pivot and change to adopt health guidelines and to respond to changing customer preferences during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Eastside Small Business Resiliency Fund will support OneEastside SPARK which provides the support, training, technical expertise, and equipment that our business and non-profit community so urgently need.
