Seattle Parks Foundation connects and supports community leaders to build and sustain a thriving system of parks and public space for all people.
Seattle Parks Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit that promotes philanthropy and advocates for public policies and investment to support and sustain a thriving system of community-led park and public space projects that improve the health and happiness of all Seattle residents. Since its founding in 2000, donors have given more than $61 million through Seattle Parks Foundation to support 219 successful park projects across the city. We currently serve as fiscal sponsor for 87 groups championing new and enhanced park space, playgrounds, tree canopy projects, pedestrian and bike trails, stream daylighting, and myriad other projectslarge and smallacross Seattle. We provide these community partners with the administrative, financial, fundraising, communications, and coaching services they need to make the city a safer, more beautiful, and more welcoming place for all to live. In the year ended June 30, 2020, donors to Seattle Parks Foundation contributed over $5.2 million to support this work. We used our Community Parks Fund to match contributions to our community partners, driving over 600 donations to 61 community partner groups during GivingTuesday and GiveBIG campaigns. Additionally, in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, we distributed $40,000 to projects in need of immediate financial support. Along with supporting community partners across the city, we are concentrating efforts and resources on major, long-term green space initiatives in the underserved neighborhoods of Rainier Beach, Little Brook/Lake City, and the Duwamish River Valley. We are partnering with local groups and facilitating collaboration between these groups, nonprofits, and city agencies to advance equitable planning and investment in these priority neighborhoods.
