The OneEastside SPARK program is focused on providing tailored small business recovery support throughout the 23 cities and towns in East King County. This was accomplished through a number of ways including webinars featuring local, state and federal funding efforts and industry/topic experts, one-on-one advising, industry roundtables with local, state and federal leaders, regional collaboration programs, an Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Resource Hub and a pilot project to support historically underserved communities with the EIDL application process, including offering in-language support in Arabic and Korean.
OneRedmond has developed collaborations across the region including the SBDC , the Small Business Administration, Service Core of Retired Executives (SCORE), (re)Startup425, and chambers of commerce, and cities across East King County. Connecting with our regional partners on a regular basis ensured that we leave no stone unturned in discovering the needs in our community. As the needs change, the programming adapts to meet the current needs of our businesses.
In its first 6-months, the new OneEastside SPARK program reached over 680 organizations that represented over 48,000 jobs in the 23 cities and towns of East King County, and beyond. As the program was virtual we also had some organizations attend from other parts of Washington State and the nation. In addition, OneEastside SPARK helped to connect over 140 companies in 15 cities to over $2,878,500 in grant funding that would have otherwise been missed. However, the reach of these programs has extended across the state as our programming is all virtual. -
