Purpose & Impact
The Windermere Foundation has been committed to supporting low-income and homeless families across the Western United States since 1989. Through agent contributions and community support, we have donated over $56 million to hundreds of organizations, ensuring that those who need our help most receive critical resources.
The Windermere Foundation and the YMCA
All proceeds from Comedy Night will benefit the Y Social Impact Center, the social service branch of the YMCA of Greater Seattle. The Social Impact Center specializes in serving youth and young adults experiencing or who have experienced homelessness, trauma, foster care, and/or involvement in the criminal justice system. For nearly 50 years, Y Social Impact Center has offered a wide array of holistic services focusing on the needs of underserved community members, including Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC); LGBTQ+; young people with disabilities; and those disenfranchised by the criminal justice system.
THE Y Social Impact Center
The Y is the largest provider of youth and young adult housing in King County, providing safe places to sleep for 450 young people each night through shelter, transitional, and permanent housing programs. In addition, through a broad range of programs and services, including mental health and substance use counseling, crisis intervention, intensive wraparound, child welfare, juvenile justice services, transitional housing, employment, education, chronic disease prevention, childcare, and diverse fitness options, the Y improves the health and vitality of community members so that all, especially the young, may realize their fullest potential in spirit, mind, and body
