Who We Are

Partnership for a Safe Seattle

Since 2002 the Seattle Police Foundation (SPF) has championed public safety in Seattle. The foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to supporting and strengthening the work of the Seattle Police Department (SPD) through philanthropy, advocacy, and building strong community partnerships.

The foundation supports both the unfunded and underfunded program and capital expenses of the Seattle Police Department that fall outside of the city’s budget. In addition, the foundation provides funding to officers and civilian staff through program grants that emphasize community building, crime prevention, officer wellness, and support to children and families in need.

The Seattle Police Foundation (SPF) was founded to help the Seattle Police Department cultivate meaningful relationships with the community, improve employee development, and help provide the latest in equipment and technology to ensure officer safety and enhance the service they provide to our community every day.

Since opening its doors in 2002, the Foundation has provided more than $16 million in grants and program support to the Seattle Police Department.

The Seattle Police Foundation helps keep Seattle safe by raising awareness and support for the Seattle Police Department. SPF does this by responding to requests from Seattle police officers to support programs and projects they believe will help them do their jobs better-more safely, efficiently and effectively. We also do this by ensuring the Seattle community has opportunities to interact with their police force in non-enforcement situations and to learn about the police department.
