The Seattle International Foundation
Seattle International Foundation (SIF) was founded as a supporting organization to The Seattle Foundation for the purpose of increasing and enhancing international philanthropy and development efforts from the Pacific Northwest and to serve as a resource to our community.

SIF's first undertaking was to co-found the Global Washington Initiative, dedicated to bringing together the wealth of Washington State's expertise to create a hub of excellence for global sustainable development.

SIF's financial support is very strategic in nature. It seeks to bring about changes in attitudes and practices related to international development that lead to social change, greater equity in opportunity and reductions in poverty. Please see what we support for more information.
