SEATTLE WORLD SCHOOL FUND NEEDS YOU

Support immigrant and refugee students at Seattle World School.

WHO WE ARE

SWS Fund is a non-profit that acts like a PTA for the Seattle World School. The school is a Title I public high school serving newcomer immigrants from many countries, e.g. Guatemala, Mexico, Vietnam, and Somalia. 96% of its population are the neediest of the needy, school district classified as "students of color furthest from educational justice." Because so many of SWS students are homeless or unaccompanied minors, there are few parents who help at the school.

We formed SWS Fund to fill that gap. In the five years of our operation, we have raised over $500,000 through your donations, government and foundation grants, and corporate matching funds. Last year, we were awarded the prestigious Advancing Education grant from BECU, a large credit union.

PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY THE SWS FUND

These generous donations and grants have supported a wide variety of programs at the school
including:

Physical education, music and art supplies and equipment
A sound system for the stage
Writers in the school creative writing program
Graphing calculators, math and ELL textbooks
Chromebooks for graduating seniors
Summer school supplies and transportation
Student backpacks, water bottles, coats
Technology (e.g. laptops, ID printer, and classroom printers and ink)
Food and housing support during the pandemic
