Mission
Seattle Parks Foundation improves, expands, creates, and connects parks and green spaces, building a more vibrant community.
Guiding Strategy: Civic Leadership through Community Engagement
Seattle Parks Foundation advocates for sustainable development and stewardship of all the city's parklands. We promote research on their environmental, cultural, economic, and health benefits. We partner with colleague institutions, community groups, and government agencies to shape a shared vision of a city connected through great parks and green space.
We provide fiscal sponsorships, technical assistance, and fundraising services to neighborhood led green space projects; bring resources to projects in economically or environmentally challenged communities; cultivate private sector philanthropy to support major civic projects; and promote enhanced and innovative public and private sector funding for the entire system.
