GiveBig 2024

There’s a good feeling we get when we show up for others, whether it’s a family member, a neighbor, or a local nonprofit we care about. And it’s not just about good-feels — volunteering or donating money to support nonprofit groups helps everyone in the community.

From Puget Sound to the Palouse, the Cascades to the Columbia River, great things happen for everyone when you give what you can. That’s what GiveBIG (May 7-8) is all about.

Support Our Partners

Get that GIVING feeling.
When you give, good things happen in your community.

This year, Friends is highlighting some of the incredible organizations that we’ve had the pleasure of partnering with. The work we do along Waterfront Park wouldn’t be possible with their services and expertise. Through these groups, we’re able to bring free events and programs to the public, connect with talented local artists, and provide care to our neighbors.

These nonprofits are doing amazing work around Washington state so be sure to show them some love! You can see all organizations participating and search for more to support on the GiveBig website.
