The goal is to turn out thousands of individual donors to help support the 1,600 eligible Puget Sound region nonprofit organizations. The Seattle Foundation has lined up several sponsors like Seattle International Foundation, Boeing, Microsoft, Medina Foundation, and Starbuck to match your donations. Last year on GiveBIG day 64,269 individual gifts plus sponsor matching funds totaled more than $12.9 million.
