The Seattle Foundation has a number of options for donors. The most common fund is the
Donor Advised Fund, which allows donors a tremendous amount of freedom and convenience, as well as access to our philanthropic advising. Another option is to create a
Supporting Organization that operates independently as a separate legal entity, but a donor would still receive The Seattle Foundation's expertise with regulatory reporting and grant management. We also support a range of
planned gifts, including annuities and charitable remainder trusts, as well as opportunities to support our community grantmaking funds or funds supporting each of the
seven elements of a healthy community.
