Eastside For All

What Eastside For All does

Eastside For All is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit racial equity advocacy organization founded in 2019 by Debbie Lacy and headquartered in East King County, Washington. The organization mobilizes Black, brown, immigrant, and refugee community members to transform local policies, practices, relationships, and investments across five Eastside municipalities (Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Issaquah, Sammamish) and multiple school districts. Its programmatic portfolio includes Safe Haven (a 160+ member, 35+ organization immigrant/refugee coalition), Community Safety (with a confidential Hate and Bias Incident Report Survey), Housing Justice, Voting and Representation, Build For Belonging (equitable development), the annual Juneteenth Celebration (entering its 7th year in 2026), and the 2025-launched 'Reimagining Community' podcast. The organization also maintains an online Resource Library and Advocacy Hub that aggregates voter information, calls to action, and elected official contacts for the region.

The organization operates with a small core staff of 5 named individuals (Founder & Executive Director Debbie Lacy, Healing Justice Organizer Angelica Gonzalez Graham, Equitable Development Coordinator Chelsea Lee, Community Organizer Guillermo Rivera, and Lead Communications Consultant Artis Nelson) supplemented by contractors and volunteers. There is no proprietary technology product; the Resource Library, Advocacy Hub, and podcast are content platforms rather than software products. The underlying 'platform' is relational: it consists of coalitions, community events, civic engagement infrastructure, and partnerships with community-based nonprofits, legal aid providers (Eastside Legal Assistance Program), immigrant coalitions (WA Immigrant Solidarity Network, OneAmerica), and cultural-community organizations (Africans on the Eastside, Indian American Community Services, Chinese Information and Service Center, Muslim Community Network Association, 4 Tomorrow, Immigrant Women's Community Center).

Eastside For All's revenue model is donation-based, with no fees for programs or services. The organization accepts monthly recurring gifts, one-time contributions, stock transfers, legacy/bequest gifts, tribute/memorial gifts, and employer matching gifts. Event-based sponsorship has been formalized through tiered Juneteenth sponsorships (Black Diamond and Onyx tiers). The go-to-market motion is community-led organizing and coalition building rather than traditional sales or marketing. Geographic scope is restricted to East King County, Washington. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
