Have questions for some of our regions major grantmakers? Register now for the 17th Annual Seattle Funders Forum, and get face-to-face with them!
The Funders Forum is a great opportunity to hear directly from foundation and corporate funders about their giving guidelines, focus, processes, and any recent pivots.
NEW THIS YEAR: Sessions will be recorded: A few days after the event, you will receive a link offering you a 30-day window to watch each funder present and answer questions.
Note: This is not a forum for making specific pitches about your program or organization, but rather an opportunity to hear directly from grantmakers and to gather contact info for future development.
Please read the etiquette rules for the Funders Forum. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, July 30!

To maintain the personal connections between funders and participants, we have chosen to limit the number of ‘seats’ at each table to replicate the in-person experience. If you do not see a funder listed in a particular time slot, that means those seats are filled. Please check another time slot for availability. You will receive a link to the video recording for each funder however, and can view them later.
