Community Business Connector Program Accepts Applicants Beginning August 1

The Port of Seattle and the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce are excited to launch the Community Business Connector Program aimed at helping small businesses tap into resources to recover from the pandemic. 


Beginning August 1, organizations and individuals are invited to submit an RFQ (Request for Qualifications) to join a team of Community Business Connectors to serve BIPOC and rural businesses in King County. 


The overall goal of the Connector program is to make our small business support ecosystem more supportive and inclusive by building relationships with businesses facing challenges due to linguistic, cultural, and geographic barriers, including economic impacts due to COVID-19.


Connectors will receive a one-time funding award from $30,000 to $40,000 over 12 months as part of the pilot program.
