For Donors

Make a Lasting Difference.

Generosity is for everyone. It sparks hope and possibility, addressing the needs of our vibrant communities with a lasting impact that offers real people a joyful experience in every aspect of life. You can give back to your community by investing in causes you care about through the Community Foundation. We focus on the details while you focus on making a difference.

We are passionate about this place and its people. Since 1989, the Community Foundation of South Puget Sound has assisted individuals, families, and businesses in improving our region through philanthropy. Whether you're a longtime donor or new to giving, we can tailor our charitable funds and services to meet your goals and community wishes. Join our giving community, and together, we will enhance well-being across the South Sound.

Celebrating Philanthropy

"At any age, we all have assets to share. Small amounts make a difference. And we really are all in this together.”

- Janet, Community Foundation Fund Holder

“Philanthropy is an important piece of helping to sustain a thriving, healthy community... the dividends are a healthier, vibrant community.”

- Give Local Donor

"I know I can pick up the phone and call the CommunityFoundation and they'll take our call... I've been incredibly impressed with the generosity and sense of togetherness I've encountered in the South Sound. This community is strong because of that and only because of that."

- Brian, Local Nonprofit Leader
