A very grateful "Thank You" to all who donated to us in the "Give BIG"
campaign. The Seattle Foundation received over $7.43 million in donations on
May 2nd, which is more than double last year's donations. The Foundation will announce the amount of
contributions donated to the Freedom Project by May 15. The response to the
campaign exceeded even the most optimistic expectations. We were one of many
nonprofit organizations in the greater Seattle area who benefited from their
efforts to assist private non-profits.
It's not too late to donate. Even though the campaign is over, , you can donate by clicking the "Give BIG" logo
and it will take you to our page on the Seattle Foundation's website.
