Membership Dues Relief Fund Overview

Greater Grays Harbor, Inc. (GGHI) fulfills the core functions of both a regional Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Council, while also mixing in some programs unique to Grays Harbor. GGHI has established a fund to help offset dues payments for those members experiencing financial hardship. We know that members who remain invested in the organization can take advantage of their online directory listing to create a high-traffic web presence, as well as the increased credibility for a business when affiliated with a professional organization like GGHI.
In the past year, the online directory listing of nearly 500 local businesses has increased its viewership by 26%. With more consumers and visitors relying on businesses having a web-based presence, the GGHI online directory has become the first stop in connecting with vendors and services in the region.
To be awarded the relief, invited businesses must complete the application and will be notified of their award on a rolling basis. Applications should be received no later than the 20th of the month.
