We’re celebrating the small and local LGBTQ+ and allied businesses that make Washington strong. With more than 100,000 small businesses in Seattle alone, GSBA is here to support local entrepreneurs with resources, connection, and community. Find everything you need in the member directory!
GSBA is the largest LGBTQ+ and allied chamber of commerce in North America, proudly serving Washington State since 1981. We connect small businesses, nonprofits, and corporations committed to equity, inclusion, and economic opportunity. When you join GSBA, you join a statewide community that champions LGBTQ+ business, offers exclusive marketing and networking opportunities, and advocates at every level of government. From our Ready for Business grants to personalized support and spotlight features, we help members grow and stay visible. We're also building the future through the GSBA Scholarship & Education Fund, which has helped nearly 600 LGBTQ+ scholars access higher education.
Since 1991, 606 LGBTQ+ and allied rising leaders have walked through this program, each one carrying forward the vision of a more equitable, connected, and inclusive Washington. Year-end giving is the perfect moment to check whether your employer offers matching gifts — a quick request to HR can double your impact and help us begin our 35th year with momentum.

"GSBA has always supported me, my community, and my business, but when the pandemic struck I realized the true value of the organization. GSBA helped me navigate supportive small business programs when I needed them and helped me launch my pandemic pivot: Bite Society. Through connections with major customers and venues, Bite Society took off and rolling with the support of GSBA. They are always my first call when I need help with my business."
