Seattle Seahawks Charitable Foundation

Since its inception, the foundation has taken an active role to expand and enhance the seahawks' ability to raise and distribute funds for charitable purposes in the pacific northwest. The foundation makes grants and contributions to public charities that serve the needs of children in the community. The foundation makes these grants and contributions to pacific northwest charities qualified for tax exemption under irc section 501(c)(3) and qualified as public charities under irc sections 509(a)(1) or 509(a)(2). The foundation supports charities whose purpose and programs are consistent with the primary exempt purpose of the foundation. The foundation generates funds by holding special events that capitalize on the foundation's association with the seahawks, seattle's national football league professional football team. Since 2004, the foundation has held "the spirit of 12" program, implementing in the 2022 season the 50/50 raffle, whereby the foundation collaborates with local nonprofit organizations that serve our community to raise money at seahawks home games to benefit local charities.
