This time of year, there are a lot of campaigns out there geared towards our wallets like  #BlackFriday, #SmallBusinessSaturday, and #CyberMonday. But how much have you heard about #GivingTuesday? #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. It is a giving movement that has been built by individuals, families, organizations, businesses and communities in all 50 states and in countries around the world. Millions of people have come together to support the causes they believe in and in the communities in which they live. #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy as a way to get involved in your local community.

Consider Giving Back to the Local Parks You Love!

By making a donation to the Green Seattle Partnership, or any of our supporting partners, you are helping to fund a legacy of healthy forests here in the Emerald City. These forests will provide innumerable ecosystem services to our communities, including: improved water and air quality, reduced stormwater runoff and flooding, wildlife habitat, and improved public health.

Seattle Parks Foundation is the Fiscal Sponsor for many of community groups that are leading Green Seattle Partnership restoration work in your neighborhood parks. And on #GivingTuesday, if you give through Seattle Parks Foundation to support any of our participating community partners listed below, there will be an added incentive; any of these groups that receive contributions of any size from at least 15 unique donors will receive an additional $1,000 from the Seattle Parks Foundation’s Community Parks Fund! So make sure that you are one of those unique 15 donors and support these groups working in your favorite neighborhood parks! Just click on the links below for more information on how you can make a donation!
