Program areas at Seattle Parks Foundation
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 nearly $72 million through Seattle Parks Foundation to support 260 successful park projects across the city.
We currently serve as fiscal sponsor for 90 groups championing new and enhanced park space, playgrounds, tree canopy projects, pedestrian and bike trails, stream daylighting, and myriad other projects-large and small-across Seattle. We provide these community partners with the administrative, financial, fundraising, communications, and coaching services they need to make our city a safer, more beautiful, and more welcoming place for all to live.
