About This Cause
Friends of Waterfront Seattle is the 501(c)(3) organization established to ensure Waterfront Seattle’s success as a beloved park. In collaboration with the City of Seattle, partner organizations, and the community at large, Friends of Waterfront Seattle is responsible for: 1. Building awareness for Waterfront Seattle and the profound impact it will have on the city and region 2. Raising $200 million in capital funding for the park from philanthropic sources 3. Stewarding the park long-term through maintenance, security, and programming Establishing Friends follows the community partnership model, which has been proven successful for parks and public spaces throughout the country. Under this model, local governments work with an independent entity, typically a not-for-profit organization, to provide consistent leadership and funding, ensuring that park remains a valued community asset in perpetuity.
