How SCL Works

Find the Merchants

We locate Asian-owned businesses—especially those in NYC’s Chinatowns—that have been hit hardest. Unlike other initiatives, we strive to reach cash-only, pen-and-paper businesses that aren’t able to use most gift card, donation or app delivery solutions.

Build a Donation Page

Our team of engineers, designers, and storytellers create a custom webpage for each merchant to take donations and sell gift cards. We speak their language, we pay in cash, and we do all the heavy lifting — including marketing. 

Fund the Business

100% of all donations goes straight to the merchant, and they don’t need to adopt any new point-of-sale systems. We ensure the small, off-the-grid Chinatown businesses get the funding love they need to survive.

Ways to Support

We are providing an online platform to low-tech, cash-only, Asian-owned small businesses that have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Support local merchants by making a donation or purchasing a voucher from them.
