Dollars for Change

Dollars for Change is a donor-driven effort that will award more than $250,000 to participating King County nonprofits. While Dollars for Change will benefit nonprofits of all sizes, in order to bring greater equity in the distribution of additional dollars, an emphasis will be placed on SMALL-and mid-sized organizations.

The way Dollars for Change will work is that a report will be generated by Seattle Foundation’s technology partner, based on the criteria applied: the donor supported a non-profit based in King County, the Healthy Community Framework elements ( basic needs, economic opportunity, health and wellness, education, environment, ARTS and CULTURE, vibrant communities and global giving), and the organization’s budget size. For example, the database can export a donor that supported an organization in the arts and culture element that has a budget size under $250,000 and is based in King County.

Donations made up to that point that meet the criteria, including gifts made during the pre-giving period of April 26 – May 8, will be eligible to be selected. If ARC is selected to receive an award, Seattle Foundation staff will email us and the donor that contributed to our organization.

Dollars for Change is an amazing opportunity for ARC to receive additional funds that contribute to the important work that we do.  In short, the more people that donate, the better chances for ARC to receive Dollars for Change.

Thank you GIVING BIG to the SMALL and for keeping us on our toes!
