Journey Ahead

Philanthropy matters to your clients—whether they mention it directly or not. Studies show that 34% of clients want philanthropy discussed in the very first meeting. Advisors who include charitable planning in their conversations consistently stand out, with significantly higher Net Promoter Scores—a key loyalty metric often tied to business growth—compared to those who don’t. 


Whether you’re experienced in charitable planning or just starting to explore it, Seattle Foundation can be your partner in helping clients reach their philanthropic goals. We offer: 

Transforming Systems,
Growing  Joy

Our collective progress is evident: free bus fare for all youth, expanded childcare subsidies for working parents, and access to doulas for growing families. We have supported key ballot initiatives, such as the Seattle Housing Levy renewal to ensure more affordable housing, services for low-income residents, and homelessness prevention. In just the past five years, our efforts have helped secure more than:


Over $5B in public investments in Greater Seattle for children’s issues, affordable housing, accessible public transit, and climate justice have been driven by a combination of Seattle Foundation’s grantmaking, advocacy, and board endorsement of key ballot initiatives since 2016.


$20M through the Fund for Inclusive Recovery for all 3 phases, supporting partners like UTOPIA, which convened a Climate Justice Summit, and Casa Latina, which created a healing and leadership space for immigrant women.
