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.

“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
