The Seattle Genealogical Society empowers individuals to discover their family histories through education, collaboration, and preservation. 15 November 2024 Dear Members and Friends, Throughout the year, Seattle Genealogical Society volunteers work to deliver our programs, build our community, archive records, and responsibly plan our future. Once per year we ask for your financial support. This is our Annual Appeal. Please be as generous as you can. Your year-end contribution will help us continue, improve, and do more.
We are doing important work. We are helping people write their stories, discover their roots, and even make connections with relatives they didn’t know they had. We are helping people unpack their family lore and learn about their family’s place in history.
We exist for only one reason – our mission. We want to keep the cost of an SGS membership affordable for everyone. Annual membership revenue covers only 27% of our current fiscal year’s operating costs. The balance comes primarily from your gifts, with some from class fees and a grant. (Source: 2024-2025 budget)
We are happy to receive your contribution by check, credit card, stock, donor advised fund, or IRA. Thank you for your support of SGS. In gratitude,
