Community Outreach

Giving is a tradition at WBO
WBO members are actively involved in various community service projects and give regularly to charitable organizations. Many of our members hold board and leadership positions at local and national non-profit organizations. Members often come together to attend charitable events to help raise funds and support worthy causes.

As a WBO member, you are most encouraged to invite other members to get to know the charitable organizations and causes you support. Send them a personal invitation.

Planned giving through personal philanthropy - some resources to help you plan and manage your own philanthropy:

The Seattle Foundation - www.seattlefoundation.org - The Seattle Foundation offers tools, insight, and inspiration to help individuals and families guide their giving.
