FAQs

What is a personal fundraising page?

A personal fundraising page is a customized web page you can use to raise funds for Seattle Children’s.  It’s a simple process: request your page, add your story and share with your community.

Why should I use Seattle Children's fundraising pages rather than a separate platform?

When you raise money through a Seattle Children’s fundraising page, donations are directed immediately to Seattle Children’s and no processing fee is taken from your fundraising total. Additionally, Seattle Children’s is then able to thank each individual donor from your page and issue individual receipts for tax deduction. Other crowdfunding sites do not offer us a way to thank your donors and may also charge fees to process your donors’ gifts.

The hospital area I want to support isn’t listed. What do I do?

If the area you would like to support isn’t listed, please email us and we can help you set up a fundraising page that fits your fundraising goals!

Can Seattle Children’s share information about the donors to my fundraising page?

Donor privacy and information is protected by law. Therefore, we are unable to share that information with you. If someone makes a gift to your page, you will see that donor’s name and gift amount on your dashboard if they choose to share it.

Can Seattle Children’s help cover my event expenses?

Unfortunately, we are not able to cover fundraising event expenses. However, we can assist you with the wording you use to ask community members to provide donations. Please note that once a gift is made to your fundraising page, it is directly deposited and cannot be redirected to you to cover expenses.

My donors don’t feel safe giving online. How can they give?

Online donations are our preferred method. Our website is secure, and your donors will have access to their digital gift receipts immediately. Your online donor wall will identify your new donation as soon as the donation has been made.

Offline donations: You can also give by calling 206-987-2153 or 800-635-1432. Or, download a donation form (PDF) and mail your gift to:

Seattle Children’s Foundation
M/S 818-F
PO Box 5371

We'd love to hear about your experience

Please share how your fundraiser went and let us know what resources, tools, or support was helpful, and where we can better support future fundraisers.

Thank Your Donors and Sponsors

While we’re sure your donors or sponsors were thanked throughout the duration of your event or promotion, we recommend another thank-you at your event or promotion’s end as well. This allows your donors to share in the success of your fundraiser and will encourage them to participate again!


Whether you’re a gamer, a crafter or a community organizer, you can turn your personal passions into progress for our patients. Our "Do-It-Yourself" fundraising model gives you the creative freedom to host anything from video gaming tournaments and neighborhood bake sales to events centered around awareness months like Mental Health Awareness or Childhood Cancer Awareness.

No matter your hobby, you can build a custom fundraiser that engages your unique community and supports the specific hospital funds that mean the most to you. If you love doing it, you can fundraise with it!
