Small business owners and nonprofits across Washington can start applying today for low interest loans of up to $150,000 through the newly-launched Small Business Flex Fund. The Fund is a public-private partnership aimed at helping small businesses and nonprofits – particularly those in low-income communities – recover and grow as communities across the state reopen for business.
Anyone is welcome to use the service; a KCLS library card or residence in our service area is not required. We are able to respond in a wide variety of languages, and by phone for those unable to access email.
"Find Financial Assistance" is an information and referral service for anyone trying to locate financial support programs. Users can fill out a simple form describing their small business, nonprofit, personal, or career/education funding need, and library staff will respond with a custom list of relevant resources.
