The Market Community Safety Net is a fund intended to provide temporary emergency financial assistance to Market farmers, merchants and residents when faced with hardship. It can help a person or family from encountering an unnecessary spiral into excess debt or loss of livelihood or housing. It is administered by The Market Foundation. In May 2014, The Market Foundation granted an additional $3,000 into the fund. Through this event, the artists hope to increase the fund by $50,000.

Pike Place Producers are the artists, designers and craftspeople who work alongside each other at the Market every day. They play a crucial role in the vibrancy of Pike Place Market not only in the diversity of art they sell but also in the community which they provide to each other and those around them. They are a group of fiercely independent micro-businesses working together for a common cause. Learn more: www.pikeplaceproducers.com
The Pike Place Market Foundation is the heart of the Market. Established in 1982, The Market Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports housing and services for our low-income neighbors by fundraising, advocacy and community building. Over the past 32 years, The Market Foundation has contributed to a neighborhood model that allows a diverse community to live and thrive here at Pike Place Market.
