Our mission is to unite the strength of all caregivers, to create a better life for ourselves and those we care for, and to lead the way to a more just and equitable world.
Service Employees International Union Local 775’s recent giving is anchored in labor organizing and ballot work, including a $4,000,000 grant in 2025 to No on I-2124 Committee for general support. That scale is matched by repeated support for internal committees and allied organizations that advance caregiving, worker rights, and public policy in Washington and nearby states. The foundation’s grant list shows a strong preference for unrestricted support, with large awards directed to SEIU 775 Ballot Fund, SEIU 775 Quality Care Committee, and related entities across multiple years. The pattern suggests a funder closely tied to its own organizing ecosystem, supporting campaigns, advocacy infrastructure, and service-oriented groups connected to long-term care, healthcare access, and labor rights. Grants also reach organizations such as Working Washington, Fair Work Center, and Washington Consumer Protection Coalition, indicating attention to worker protections and consumer issues as part of a broader advocacy strategy. With annual grants above $20 million and a total assets base of more than $83 million, the foundation operates at a substantial regional scale while keeping most of its giving concentrated in Washington.
Labor rights and worker organizing are central to the foundation’s recent giving. It awarded $500,000 in 2024 to Working Washington for general support, and also gave $155,329 in 2025 to Washington State Labor Council for general support. Those grants sit alongside other unrestricted awards to advocacy groups active in the state. Caregiving and long-term care appear through grants to the organization’s own related committees. In 2024, Service Employees International Union Local 775 gave $1,500,000 to Seiu 775 Quality Care Committee for general support, reflecting a recurring emphasis on care work infrastructure. Healthcare access is also present in the portfolio, with general-support funding to Fair Work Center totaling $150,000 in 2023 and 2024 entries, plus $112,500 in 2025. Consumer protection and policy advocacy show up as well. The foundation gave $875,112 in 2025 to Washington Consumer Protection Coalition- for general support, and $100,000 in 2025 to Washington State Budget & Policy Center for general support.
