They have raised funds to support their students, faculty and programs for over 30 years. This year, they gave more than $500,000 to 231 students and expect to distribute an additional $60,000 throughout the 2016-17 school year.

They are the home of the Seattle Promise, a bold initiative to provide a full scholarship to every low-income Seattle student with a 3.0 GPA. Each year, the Foundation hosts the annual gala event Believe. This coming year, the Believe gala is scheduled for Thursday, May 11, 2017 at Fremont Studios.

Chartered as a 501(c)3 organization in Washington in 1978, they are governed by their volunteer Board of Directors, community leaders who lead the Foundation in supporting the students of Seattle Central College. They are the official gift-receiving agency for Seattle Central College.
