Seattle Parks Foundation

Seattle Parks Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit celebrating our 25th year with a history of successful advocacy, community capacity building, park construction, and fundraising on behalf of our city’s public spaces. We partner with community to champion thriving and equitable parks and public spaces. Our vision is that people feel welcomed and invested in our parks and public spaces, leading to healthy, sustainable, and equitable communities. We support our community through a robust fiscal sponsorship program. Our workplace is highly collaborative, professional, and respectful while nurturing a sense of fun. We are led by a strong and strategically engaged board of directors, and we strive to ensure that our team reflects the diversity of Seattle and has the cultural competence to ensure that we serve all residents of the city.

The following are our core commitments as an organization:

• We listen to learn, work in partnership, and lift up others.
• We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This means confronting our assumptions about structures of oppression and, in response, continually remaking our internal culture.
• We are accountable. When we commit, we deliver. When we make a mistake, we accept responsibility.
• We embrace change and the challenges that come with it.
• We nurture a culture of gratitude and continually celebrate and thank volunteers, staff, partners, and donors.

Seattle Parks Foundation is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we believe that having staff, consultants, and volunteers with diverse backgrounds enables us to meet our mission while creating an inclusive organization that reflects our values. We strongly encourage applications from all races, ages, religions, sexes, marital statuses, sexual orientations, gender identity, national origin, citizenship, military or veteran status, or any other basis protected by applicable laws, regulations, or guidelines relating to discrimination.
