“We opened our fund at the end of 2016 which gave us time to consider the most productive places to make our donations throughout the year and in futures. Otherwise we might have scrambled at year end to make our decisions.”

DOUG BALDWIN HELPS FOUNDATION CELEBRATE $10 MILLION MILESTONE

Doug Baldwin, wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, was this year's Rising Star Award winner for the LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GIVERS. Since he was unable to attend the CELEBRATE! event in February, Mr. Baldwin graciously agreed to join us for our May foundation board meeting to accept his award. Perfect timing! We were also celebrating a major milestone - $10 million in assets. Mr. Baldwin accepted his award, spoke eloquently of how he learned about giving back to the community when he was young, and then joined the board in a group photo to memorialize the event. Congratulations to Mr. Baldwin.

And congratulations and thanks to all of our fund-holders and donors for their continued confidence and support. Together - we lift people out of poverty, put at-risk kids on the right path to success, help seniors, inspire through the arts and so much more.

News from the Renton Community Foundation

IT'S ALL HERE IN OUR NEW FUND CATALOG

We've created a visual representation of our family of charitable funds to help you read about the good work they do. To help frame the breadth of what the Renton Community Foundation has to offer, we will also launch a brand new website just in time for early-bird giving for the Under One Roof campaign next week. Once we go live, you will be able to click on "Foundation Funds" and go directly to the new catalog.

The good news is, we also redesigned the Foundation donation page. You can now make a gift to up to three different funds in one transaction!

Please join us for this big event beginning on September 19th! All donors participating in early-bird giving (September 19-20), or who make a donation during the campaign of $500 or more will have their name entered to win a dinner for two at Melrose Grill, Torero's, or the Red House! Win-win.

For more information on establishing your o wn charitable fund, call the Foundation. We'd love to welcome you to our family of donors. Then, next year, you could change

a life, educate,

or inspire with your own fund through the Under One Roof Campaign.

Also thanks to the many 'matching gift' donors who stepped up to leverage extra giving for specific funds. Lastly, thanks to the many fund advisors who worked hard to make this day of giving happen.

Now, let's show them some love.

Change a life. Educate. Inspire.

A DAY TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

Our country is experiencing unparalleled hardships today. From the opioid addiction epidemic, to hurricanes and fires, to homelessness and hunger, there are people who need our help. Locally, we are blessed to have our own community foundation that manages over 50 individual charitable funds and $10 million to benefit a broad array of community needs.

On September 21st, the Renton Community Foundation will hold its first-ever "Under One Roof" Community Campaign to raise thousands of dollars in just one day!

Whether you have a passion for the arts, history preservation, education, basic services, seniors, pets or more, we have it all - under one roof.

Won't you join us for this one-stop philanthropic shopping experience?

Early-bird giving begins on September 19th. The campaign runs through the 21st.
