SOAR, NW Children's Foundation's 40th Anniversary Gala + Auction, will take on May 3, 2025, at Fremont Studios in Seattle!
The NWCF Gala is always high-end and high energy; in addition to a fabulous dinner by Chef John Howie, guests will enjoy premium wines, great entertainment and stupendous items auctioned by the engaging Fred Northup.
Proceeds from the event will be the primary source of funding for NWCF’s spring grants, which go out to heroic partner agencies working to heal children, strengthen families and empower youth. Learn more about NW Children’s Foundation at nwcf.org.

Mission Statement
NWCF works to end the intergenerational cycle of child abuse, neglect and trauma. We envision a world in which all children thrive in safe, equitable, and nurturing communities.
Description
NW Children's Foundation (NWCF) believes that the early years are the most critical to a child’s development, and have implications for the rest of his or her life. We are acutely aware of how childhood trauma, if left unaddressed, can impact brain development and adult outcomes. Our work focuses on helping to make children safer, more resilient and better able to thrive. It is carried out through two complementary programs:
- Grantmaking: NWCF’s grants support prevention, early intervention, and treatment programs to heal children, strengthen families, and empower youth. Every grant applicant is carefully evaluated, including a site visit to see their programs in action. Since 1985, we have distributed more than $21M to area nonprofits.
- Educational Outreach: NWCF convenes diverse players in the child welfare field - schools, direct-service nonprofits, researchers, healthcare providers, therapists, funders and advocates, judges and lawyers, parents and more - to learn, discuss and connect in order to work toward community-level improvement in our approaches to building resilience and preventing and responding to child maltreatment.
Over its 40 years, NWCF has evolved into a seasoned and respected element of our region’s child welfare landscape, playing a significant role in our community’s efforts to improve the lives of our communities' children and families.
