Resources for Nonprofits
Seattle Foundation helps nonprofits carry out their work by awarding grants, forging community partnerships and educating community philanthropists and partners about the organizations most aligned with their charitable interests.

Seattle Foundation offers a variety of grants to support local nonprofits. Our priority is those organizations making meaningful, measurable change within the key areas of our Blueprint for Impact — from arts and culture to health and wellness.
