What is the Giving Circle?
The Giving Circle is a group of loyal supporters who have committed to a 3-year pledge to WestSide Baby. Through the Giving Circle, we are able to better plan for growth and program support in the years to come.
How much do I invest annually?
When you become a donor in the Giving Circle, you commit to donating at least $500 each year for 3 years. We encourage you to think about which level is meaningful to you and your family. Our Giving Circle levels are:
- Platinum $10,000+
- Diamond $5,000
- Emerald $2,500
- Ruby $1,000
- Sapphire $500
What are the benefits of joining the Giving Circle?
Besides helping improve the lives of thousands of local kids in need in an incredible way, members of the Giving Circle are invited to WestSide Baby community events, are acknowledged in our Annual Report, and are honored at our largest annual fundraiser in the Spring.
The Legacy Society honors those who have added WestSide Baby to their estate plans.
There are a number of planned gift options, most of which offer considerable tax benefits. Estates both large and small can benefit from planned giving and make a significant impact on WestSide Baby.
If you have already made a gift to WestSide Baby through your estate or would like more information about legacy gifts, please email us or call 206-686-6045.

What Are Matching Gifts?
Many employers offer matching gift programs that match charitable donations and volunteer hours made by their employees. These programs allow you to increase the value of your support for WestSide Baby – often doubling or even tripling your impact – at no additional cost to you. When you take a few minutes to request a match from your employer, you help ensure more children in our community have the diapers, clothing, and essential items they need.
How to Find Out if Your Company Matches
Many companies offer matching gift programs. To see if your employer participates:
- Check your company’s intranet or employee benefits portal.
- Search for “matching gifts,” “employee giving,” or “volunteer hour matching.”
- Ask your HR representative or manager if a matching program is available.
If your employer uses a matching platform (such as Benevity, CyberGrants, or YourCause), you can often look up “WestSide Baby” directly in their database.
Companies that frequently contribute to WestSide Baby through a matching gift program:
- Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
- Boeing
- Costco Wholesale
- Getty Images
- Microsoft
- Nordstrom
- Starbucks
- T-Mobile
- Weyerhauser
My employer does matching! Now what?
Some companies may ask for a copy of the email you received after making a gift, or for the following information about WestSide Baby:
Nonprofit Status: 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
Legal Name: WestSide Baby
Address: 10002 14th Ave SW, Seattle WA 98146
Tax ID number/EIN: 91-212-4405
Once your match is approved, your employer will send the matched funds directly to WestSide Baby, expanding your impact for the children and families we serve. Thank you for considering a matching gift as a way to expand your support of families in our community!

“It gives me great joy to see donations come in that enable us to fill the requests we get from families. At the same time, it is really hard when we do not have an item requested – often basics like socks, safety items, or shampoo. Saying no is tough. This is where you can help. With your donations, we are able to purchase our most needed items so we have everything children need most.”
–Diane R., WestSide Baby Volunteer
