The Gathering Collaborative (TGC) is a group of trusted community members who are involved to uplift Black and Indigenous people and their communities – those who are most directly harmed by racism.

The members largely reflect these communities and have lived experience in these communities that they serve. TGC members meet monthly to address issues that impact the lives of Black and Indigenous people.

One of the main goals of The Gathering Collaborative is to equitably distribute $25 million in investments to community service providers – non-profit organizations, grassroot organizations with fiscal sponsors, and for-profit businesses – to support their growth and entrepreneurship in repairing the deep harms of racism worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, and bring healing, social and emotional stability, well-being, and restoration for Black and Indigenous people and their communities so that all People of Color and all communities across King County thrive.
