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.
