We are not accepting funding applications or creating new partnerships. We are happy to share our learning with other funders interested in parent and family engagement, scaling Academic Parent Teacher Teams, and the ParentChild+ home visiting program. Please reach out to us to learn more.
All children deserve high-quality educational opportunities that prepare them to reach their full potential. But widening social and economic disparities in our region leave too many kids—particularly kids of color and kids from low-income households—without essential learning experiences. This failure perpetuates inequities and holds back communities.
We can address those inequities by giving families the resources they need to make sure their children are learning and growing. Families are a child’s first teacher. They play a crucial role in the social, emotional, and cognitive development of their kids, and we support organizations that help them thrive.
SFF is investing in efforts that connect with families early, authentically, and often. We fund programs that empower caregivers to engage in their child’s education, honor their individual strengths and cultures, and treat them as partners alongside trained educators. Through these investments, we aim to ensure that in King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties, all children ages 0–12 have the chance to succeed in school and in life.
