The Seattle Foundation encourages personal philanthropy to improve the quality of life in King County, Washington. As a community foundation, we tailor giving to the needs and interests of individual donors by offering tools, insight and inspiration to help make giving effective and satisfying. More than 1,200 individuals, families and businesses give through The Seattle Foundation, using your funds that work much like private foundations and offer distinct benefits.
The Seattle Foundation distributes millions of dollars in grants each year as it responds to changing community and priorities of our donors. Through our Community Grantmaking Program, we give grants to nonprofits in King County addressing a wide spectrum of needs. We work with professional advisors to offer their clients flexible giving vehicles and options for supporting favorite organizations and causes.
Kathryn Gardow and her husband, David Bradlee, have carefully organized their giving into three overall funding priorities: social justice, the environment and family planning. Their goal, Kathryn says, is to effect change and pass down a better world to their kids.
