Founded in 2010, HKCC is a POC-led network of movement builders and organizers. Together, we lead the way toward health equity in King County. We are leaders and provide expertise and tools to eliminate health disparities while honoring the wisdom and power of those who have been subject to race, class, or identity discrimination. We do this through leadership development for community members as well as project planning tools, policy creation, education, and advocacy for organizations serving community. We’re uniquely nimble and responsive to emerging opportunities, combining strong historical knowledge and cross-sector perspectives to achieve equitable policies and systems.

We are a coalition of over 40 members, from grassroots organizations and individuals to government agencies and foundations. Our diverse member-base drives coalition projects, policy-priority areas, and development of new tools through participation in focused work groups. While we operate a tiered system of member dues, we are sustained by a diversified mix of public and private funding from foundations, local government, and individual contributions.
