The Seattle Foundation Annual Report Donors & Contributors 3 2008 The Seattle Foundation Annual Report Donors & Contributors 3 Grantees 13 Fiscal Sponsorships 28 Financial Highlights 30 Trustees and Staff 33 Committees 34 www.seattlefoundation.org | (206) 622-2294 While the 2008 financial crisis created greater needs in our community, it also gave us reason for hope. 2008 Foundation donors have risen to the challenges that face King County today by generously supporting the organizations effectively working to improve the well-being of our community. The Seattle Foundation’s commitment to building a healthy community for all King County residents remains as strong as ever. In 2008, with our donors, we granted more than $63 million to over 2000 organizations and promising initiatives in King County and beyond. Though our assets declined like most investments nationwide, The Seattle Foundation’s portfolio performed well when benchmarked against comparable endowments. In the longer term, The Seattle Foundation has outperformed portfolios comprised of traditional stocks and bonds due to prudent and responsible stewardship of charitable funds that has been the basis of our investment strategy for decades. The Seattle Foundation is also leading efforts to respond to increasing need in our community. Late last year The Seattle Foundation joined forces with the United Way of King County and other local funders to create the Building Resilience Fund—a three-year, $6 million effort to help local people who have been hardest hit by the economic downturn. Through this fund, we are bolstering the capacity of selected nonprofits to meet increasing basic needs and providing a network of services to put people on the road on self-reliance. We are also targeting more of our resources to ensure economic opportunity and educational success for all King County residents—two elements of a healthy community with the greatest potential to broadly improve overall quality of life. In 2008, The Seattle Foundation awarded four targeted grants, totaling $327,500, to connect low-income people to effective primary and post- secondary education. These went to help ensure students graduate from high school with the knowledge and skills to succeed, and provide much-needed resources to small minority-owned businesses. As we look to the future, we are confident that our community will emerge stronger and healthier than ever. As always, we remain proud and humbled to support the generosity of our donors and the good work being done in this community, our home. 2008 Annual Report Donors & Contributors We thank our many generous contributors—individually and combined— who are making our world a better place to live.

  • Panama Treaty 8 77 2
    Collection: Office of the Chief of Staff Files Series: Hamilton Jordan's Confidential Files Folder: Panama Canal Treaty 8/77 [2] Container: 36 Folder Citation: Office of the Chief of Staff Files, Hamilton Jordan's Confidential Files, Panama Canal Treaty 8/77 [2], Container 36 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 30, 1977 TO: PRESIDENT CARTER FROM: HA1.'1ILTON JORDAN I-IY RE: MEETING FOR KEY PEOPLE AND INSTITUTIONAL LEADERS As you know, we are proceeding stimultaneously along several tracks in our Panama Canal Treaty strategy. We are bringing groups in fro~ target states, you are calling and meeting with individual Senators, and we are working through private groups and multinationals to reach specific Senators. I~ Tne~e still remains a large number of key people and groups who need a briefing and some exposure to you before they will get active. Our recommendation is for a meeting next week with a select group of these people. Through this effort, I I I Ir we should be able to generate both organizational support and key personal endorsements. Because of the nature of this group, it would probably require more than 15-20 minutes of your time. It would probably take a full hour. However, after this briefing, I believe that we could move rapidly on a lot of fronts simultaneously as opposed to approaching many of these same people one by one. Although there might be some persons in this group who would really have to be convinced by this meeting, by a~d large they will be kindly disposed toward support­ ing the treaty.

  • Marcus Lamb, Founder and President of Daystar Television Network
    Marcus Lamb, Founder and President of Daystar Television Network Marcus Lamb, founder and president of Daystar Television Network, was born October 7, 1957 in Cordele, Georgia and raised in Macon, Georgia. At the age of 15, in the summer of 1973, he began preaching as an evangelist. Upon skipping his senior year of high school in 1974, at the age of 16, Marcus enrolled in Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee on a full scholarship. At age 19, he began his final senior semester at the private liberal arts school and graduated Magna Cum Laude. In December of 1981, Marcus Lamb founded Word of God Fellowship in Macon. He married Joni Trammell of Greenville, South Carolina in 1982, and she began to travel full time with him as they ministered in more than 20 states. As an evangelist, Marcus quoted so many scriptures in his sermons that many began referring to him as the “Walking Bible.” While on a trip to Israel in 1983, God spoke to Marcus Lamb and told him to found a Christian television station in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1985, Marcus built WMCF-TV, “45 Alive,” in Montgomery. It was the first Christian TV station in the state, and Marcus was the youngest person in the country to build a full power television station. In 1990, the Lambs moved to Dallas, Texas, to build KMPX-TV 29. Through a series of miracles and divine favor, TV 29 went on the air full power in September of 1993. Daystar Television Network officially launched in 1997 with a live broadcast of T.D.

Since personal tranquility through a beautiful and gardens often were small they achieved an ancient Chinese experience. The garden will also impression of size and complexity by means of feature 12 buildings, including an education suggestion and surprise: the waterfall springing from a secret source, the winding path leading into a hidden courtyard. Chinese gardens are distinctive in their symbolic use of water, stone, plants, and architecture to create a place of beauty, vibrant with flowing qi, the universal energy. These four elements manifest the opposing principles of yin (earth/receptive/dark) and yang (heaven/creative/bright). Chinese philosophy views yin and yang as the interactive, cycling forces that drive the rhythms of life. In the Chinese center and a banquet hall with special event garden we thus experience a seating for up to 200 people. The 85-foot Floating Clouds Pavilion will soar over the Garden, placed on an axis with the Space Needle. As a major destination and cultural institution, the Seattle Chinese Garden will inspire new perspectives on world affairs and illuminate China and her cultural and economic influence on the Pacific Northwest. From ancient times Chinese city planning has been characterized by symmetry and control.

  • Parks and Recreation
    PARKS AND RECREATION Parks & Recreation Overview of Facilities and Programs The Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) manages more than 430 parks and open areas in its approximately 6,200 acres of property throughout the City; works with the public to be good stewards of the park system; and provides safe and welcoming opportunities for the public to play, learn, contemplate, and build community. The park system comprises about 11% of the City’s land area. It includes approximately 488 buildings and 430 parks that feature 185 athletic fields, 130 children’s play areas, 26 community centers, 151 outdoor tennis courts, 22 miles of boulevards, an indoor tennis center, two outdoor and eight indoor swimming pools, five golf courses, performing and visual arts studios, boat ramps, moorages, fishing piers, trails, camps, viewpoints, open spaces, a rock climbing site, a conservatory, a state-of-the art zoo, a classical Japanese garden, and a waterfront aquarium. The development of this system is guided by the Seattle Parks & Recreation Plan 2000, the 38 neighborhood plans, the Joint Athletic Facilities Development Program, the 1999 Seattle Center and Community Centers Levy, the 2000 Parks Levy, and DPR’s annual update to the Asset Management Plan. Funds for the projects in this document come from a variety of sources, including two levies, the Cumulative Reserve Subfund, Councilmanic debt, and the Shoreline Park Improvement Fund, in addition to many other special fund sources, grants, and private donations. In 1999, Seattle voters approved a renewal of the 1991 Seattle Center and Community Centers Levy, continuing Seattle Parks and Recreation’s commitment to renovate and expand old community centers and provide new ones for underserved areas.
