WSMA

WSMA, the Washington State Microenterprise Association, is dedicated to supporting hard-to-serve entrepreneurs by assisting the organizations that help them thrive. They provide economic development for Washington businesses, particularly the smallest ones, giving them access to the tools and resources they need to succeed. WSMA strengthens these businesses by working alongside Microenterprise Development Organizations (MDOs) across the state.

They offer a range of services, including resource coordination, capacity building, grant opportunities, and training and technical assistance. Through their efforts, WSMA has awarded over $2 million in grants to MDOs, leveraging additional funds from federal, local, or private sources. They also convene meetings and networking events to foster collaboration between MDOs and microbiz advocates, creating a strong network of business development partners.

WSMA's mission is to build prosperity by providing access to resources for Washington's smallest businesses, empowering business owners and encouraging innovation in the state's business ecosystem
