About these efforts

King County government is working with regional private and public sector organizations to direct donations to agencies in need – and the people they are charged to serve during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. As the response effort moves into a critical phase, people, businesses and non-profits are searching for an effective means to make sure services, supplies and funding reach health care providers, first responders (e.g. firefighters, law enforcement, medical and healthcare providers), and social service entities working on the front lines.

Toward that end, we have established the King County Regional Donations Connector to serve three purposes:

Provide a system that allows donations and offers of assistance to be used in the response effort. Provide an online “marketplace” where offering organizations can be matched to those in need. Provide the public with an easily searchable list of resources.

Donating individuals, agencies and businesses are invited to share what they have to contribute (i.e. funding, surgical supplies, masks, counseling etc.) and link up with frontline organizations.
