This fund is intended to help support South Lake Union’s small businesses & nonprofits impacted by COVID-19. While there are multiple grant relief resources becoming available, we have identified gaps that leave some of our neighborhood businesses and nonprofits without relief opportunities. This fund aims to address any funding gaps and support all South Lake Union small businesses & nonprofits. We are currently collecting contributions to the fund with a goal of $250,000.

Please donate to Round 2 of our #SLUChamberFund so we can continue to aid our South Lake Union community!

With Amazon’s latest announcement regarding work from home until October, we know that some of the hardest days are still ahead for our businesses and nonprofits. We need your donations now more than ever!

Businesses and individuals! No amount is too small. Help us reach our goal of $250,000; donate here.
