Introducing Kenmore's New Local Business Directory FindKenmore.org 

"*Make sure your business is listed for free promotion!*"

FindKenmore.org [ http://www.findkenmore.org/ ] is a brand new, easily searchable business directory and community calendar. Any business registered in Kenmore is eligible for a free listing in the directory.

The City of Kenmore partnered with the Kenmore Business Alliance [ https://bothellkenmorechamber.org/our-chamber/committees/kenmore-business-alliance/ ] to update the design and look of the business directory. The new directory will be heavily promoted over the next year and the City wants to make sure all businesses are represented. 

Local businesses that have registered for a Kenmore City Business License, (sometimes called a Kenmore Endorsement), are encouraged to request an account to manage an existing listing or submit a new listing for a business [ https://www.findkenmore.org/business-login/ ] not already in the Directory. There is an option to submit your community event as well. "*Help us help customers find you!*"

The Small Business Investment Grant [ https://www.seakingwdc.org/funding-blog/small-business-investment-grant ], funded by the Washington State Department of Commerce’s Community Reinvestment Project, aims to promote equity for businesses in Seattle-King County, with a focus on those 51% or more owned and operated by individuals from Black, urban Indian/Tribal, and Latine communities.

Funds from the grants can be used for a variety of purposes, including capacity building and growth, sustainability efforts (environmental, financial, and social impact), hiring (especially to enhance workforce diversity), retention, and staff training.
