Spark Northwest
Spark Northwest works at the local level to promote a clean energy transition that builds power and wealth in rural, Tribal, and low-wealth communities. Our broad goals are to advance clean energy programs that: build capability and capacity, reduce energy burdens, and strive towards energy democracy. They encourage their community partners to set the direction, while they offer technical assistance and help to secure project funding in keeping with the community’s interests and values.
Satterberg Foundation
The Satterberg Foundation strengthens our communities by promoting a just society and a sustainable environment. Doing this work deepens the interconnection of our family. Named to honor Elmer and Ruth Satterberg, we have provided over $90 million in grants to non-profit organizations since our founding in 1991.
In funding the Metropole, Satterberg was motivated to take action to help non-profits that could no longer afford downtown office space stay in downtown Seattle, our hometown. We are excited to see a vibrant hub serving communities of color opening its doors and inviting in organizations that are working every day to advance our shared mission.
