  • We honor the resilience, strength, and legacy of Native peoples. We celebrate their achievements and contributions, while also acknowledging the injustices they continue to face, both past and present. As we reflect on Seattle Foundation’s mission to create a more joyful region, we recognize that while Seattle has seen significant growth, that prosperity hasn’t been shared equally. Our thriving city is a reality for some, but not all. We are committed to working together with communities, nonprofits, and donors to address the inequities that persist, building a future where every person can thrive and find belonging.
