East Seattle Foundation funds organizations working to change the status quo.

Our focus is on supporting people and programs taking innovative and measurable approaches to preventing issues such as homelessness, youth suicide and the hopelessness that comes from isolation and lack of resources, and equipping individuals for better outcomes. Through our gifts of time, money and experience, we are committed to investing in ideas that challenge conventional thinking, intervene upstream, and have the potential to make a real difference in our communities.

We Believe All People Deserve:

Quality education that inspires, prepares and empowers
Meaningful employment that provides a living wage and leads to choices
Affordable housing that offers a safe and stable place to live
A sense of purpose and belonging, nurtured by healthy relationships
Access to mental and physical health resources to support a vibrant productive lifestyle

We Fund Innovators

East Seattle Foundation was established by Alan and Mary Frazier and their family. We support both new and established organizations doing innovative work with the potential to have a lasting, measurable impact. Our goal is to amplify the work of people and organizations tackling societal problems in fresh ways. While our focus is on Washington state, we may contribute to causes and ideas outside our geographic region where we have a personal connection.

EXAMPLES OF OUR PAST FUNDING INCLUDE:

Purpose & Belonging

We invest in community-driven projects and programs that create safe spaces and foster strong connections for communities.

Education & Career Development

We support initiatives that equip young people with the skills and knowledge they need for successful careers.

Safe Accessible & Affordable Housing

We are committed to ensuring safe, accessible, and affordable housing for all, investing in communities and empowering individuals to build stable, thriving futures.
