Sponsorship Mgr. Volunteer & Events Assistant Projects Coord. Now More Than Ever Since 1934, through boom years and busts, the Arboretum has been a haven for our community. During the current public health crisis, the Arboretum has again been a destination for those seeking solace, inspiration, and the restorative impact of nature. Yet we know that the coming months—and possibly years—will bring new financial and logistical challenges, making the work of the Arboretum Foundation to protect this special place more valuable than ever. This past year, we saw remarkable progress in building a foundation for a greener future. Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz inspired our audience during a record-setting “Flower Power” Opening Night Party at the 2020 Northwest Flower and Garden Festival (see page 6). Our Jason Morse gold-medal-winning display garden—“Gateway to a Greener Earth”—featured endangered plants and highlighted the importance of biodiversity to a healthy planet. President, It was another successful year in the Seattle Japanese Garden, which saw the completion of Board of Directors important maintenance on the North Pond, in partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation. A wide and diverse audience enjoyed our free, high-quality cultural programming, and we expanded the ever-popular Moon Viewing event to two nights (see page 12). The year 2020 marks two special anniversaries that have been woven into our programs and messaging: the 50th observance of Earth Day, and the 60th (Kanreki) Anniversary Season in the Japanese Garden. Like many others, we have needed to reimagine what these celebrations look like—kudos to the staff and our volunteers for their creativity and flexibility. Looking ahead, one can imagine dead-ends or retreats from big ideas. However, with your ongoing Jane Stonecipher support, we may only need to take detours—different paths to reach our destination. We are already in active conversation with our Arboretum partners at the City and UW to build greater resilience in our governance structure (see page 8). Executive Director We thank you, our dedicated supporters, now more than ever. 3 Financial Statement Balance Sheet Revenue & Expenses FY 2019 FY 2018 FY 2019 FY 2018 Assets Revenue Cash in Bank $ 355,176 $ 395,894 Support & Memberships - Unrestricted Investment Account Funds: Membership & Donors $ 1,189,425 $ 511,291 General 2,288,345 1,654,713 Events & Gift Shop, net of costs 402,003 349,727 Endowment 2,742,900 2,132,162 Private Grants 267,400 181,750 Promises to Give from Donors 174,230 4,359 Other Revenues & In-Kind donations 311,887 261,193 Other Current Assets 104,924 98,177 Total $ 2,170,715 $ 1,303,961 Property, net of depreciation 0 0 Total Assets $ 5,665,575 $ 4,285,305 Operating Expenses: Program services $ 263,463 $ 423,289 Liabilities and Net Assets Grants to UWBG 663,932 337,650 Accounts Payable Fundraising 261,548 230,618 & Accrued Liabilities $ 86,305 $ 87,760 Management & General 221,310 206,178 Grants Payable 13,655 42,966 Total Operating Expenses 1,410,253 1,197,735 Net Assets Net Gain (Loss) on Investments 168,873 209,662 Unrestricted/Board Restricted 2,730,424 1,907,189 Change in Net Assets - Operating Activities $ 929,335 $ 315,888 Temporarily Restricted 1,389,671 831,370 Permanently Restricted 1,445,520 1,416,020 Total Net Assets 5,565,615 4,154,579 Permanently & Temporarily Restricted Endowment Donations Revenue $ 29,500 $ 31,000 Total Liabilities and Net Assets $ 5,665,575 $ 4,285,305 Capital Projects Revenue 883,500 296,250 913,000 327,250 Special Grants to Others Project and Fundraising Expenses 431,299 371,704 Change in Net Assets - Non-Operating 481,701 (44,545) Total Change in Net Assets $ 1,411,036 $ 271,434 4 Euonymus alatus Snapshots 2019–2020 Day of Caring Fall Plant Sale Shopper 2019 “Flower Power” Opening Night Party Seattle Japanese Garden Gifts and Greens Galore Maple Festival Drummers “Gateway to a Greener Earth” Garden 5 Events and Contributions This past year, Arboretum Foundation members and donors stood tall for trees—and for a greener future—by generously supporting our events, fundraising appeals, and programs. They enabled us to set many new records and advance our mission to preserve and enhance the Arboretum. More than 550 shoppers attended our volunteer-run Fall Plant Sale in early September, 2019. They helped us raise $8,500 in support of tree care, garden maintenance, and environmental education at the Arboretum—a new record for this event! Gifts and Greens Galore in early December was also our best holiday sale to date, raising more than $18,000 in support of the Arboretum. A special thanks to our amazing event volunteers who did everything from crafting beautiful wreaths to hanging decorative swags on the rafters of Wisteria Hall. More than 400 guests attended our 32nd annual Opening Night Party and Auction at the Northwest Flower & Garden Festival in late February, 2020. They helped us raise over $370,000 for the Arboretum—breaking last year’s record by about $50,000! Our theme was “Flower Power,” honoring the vibrant, creative movements of the Flower Power era that ushered in the first Earth Day in 1970. Dancers and singers in “flower children” garb entertained guests, while our featured speaker, WA State Commissioner of Public Lands Hilary Franz, inspired the crowd with an eloquent speech calling for the defense and preservation of our natural resources. Party guests enjoyed a preview of the Garden Festival’s beautiful displays, including the Arboretum’s “Gateway to a Greener Earth,” an Earth Day 2020-themed garden representing the diversity of plants from around the world found in the park. Endangered specimen trees and shrubs in the display highlighted the important contributions to conservation made by the Flower Children: Singers and dancers performing “Age Arboretum.

  • CENTRAL SEATTLE Map & Location
    CENTRAL community SEATTLE info Old Seattle charm, thriving urban center. Early in Seattle’s history, Capitol Hill and adjacent First Hill were where bankers, shipping executives and other newly rich called home. Today the neighborhood is a thriving urban center, and Broadway — the neighborhood’s main drag — serves as its focal point. Music and art are prominent cornerstones of this counter-culture community, with clubs, theatres, bookstores and galleries found all throughout the neighborhood. Internationally renowned Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) schedules showings at the Harvard Exit and Egyptian Theatres on Capitol Hill. During the academic year, Capitol Hill is filled with backpacking students who go to one of the nearby major institutions of higher learning — Seattle Central Community College and the nationally acclaimed Cornish College of the Arts. CAPITOL HILL Seattle University is on First Hill, but many of its students, faculty and staff neighbor hood work and play on Capitol Hill. MADISON PARK neighbor hood Madison Park, located south of the 520 bridge, is a neighborhood of stunning homes and condos, many with gorgeous views of the lake and Mount Rainer. Madison Park could be considered an urban center retreat, as it’s close to downtown Seattle and yet maintains the feeling of a lovely, slow-paced residential area. The upscale commercial district is both a draw to the neighborhood and greatly treasured by those who live nearby. CAPITOL HILL activities & community Farmer’s Market: The Capitol Hill Broadway Farmer’s Market is one of the few year-round markets in Seattle. The market is a wonderful opportunity to shop for fresh ingredients, learn about local non-profits, hear fun live music, and watch cooking demonstrations.

By Ann McCurdy Twice so far, Madison Valley residents Michelle McKelvey and Ann McCurdy have attempted to get a play structure installed near the swings in Washington Park (the south end of the Arboretum near the playfields). The first attempt, in 2010, failed after CleanScapes decided their $50,000 commu- nity award would go to another project. Their second at- tempt, in 2011, was when the Seattle Parks Department en- couraged them to apply for a Neighborhood Matching Grant.
