As the year draws to a close, I’m thankful for our OneRedmond members whose investment in our organization supports the work of our team to meet the needs of our business and non-profit community. Our members are building resilience and preparing to take advantage of next year’s opportunities with our support.
Through the challenges of the last two years, OneRedmond took a leadership role to help small businesses and nonprofits navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our team helped to connect over 400 small businesses and nonprofits to over $4.6 million in grant funding. Our OneEastside SPARK program has become a virtual hub for services to support small business resiliency across the eastside. But work still needs to be done.
Our members are essential to OneRedmond’s work supporting the recovery and resiliency of our local economy. As we look ahead to 2022, we will continue to deliver high-quality service to our members and our business and nonprofit community. But we still need your support. We recognize that these are unprecedented times, and OneRedmond is here to support your business.
