The Foundation Board supports our programs and services through outreach and cultivation activities, continuing education opportunities, and networking. Foundation Board members are skilled volunteers who act as ambassadors in the community and seek to increase overall awareness of and support for the Lighthouse mission. We empower people who are blind, DeafBlind, and blind with other disabilities by creating diverse, sustainable, and meaningful employment opportunities.
The Lighthouse stands as one of Seattle’s oldest social enterprises and is changing the landscape of employment among the blind and DeafBlind communities. The Lighthouse is a leader in breaking down barriers to employment by utilizing assistive technologies and providing comprehensive supportive services to all employees.
Our ideal Foundation Board member candidate has positivity and passion for the Lighthouse mission and is highly motivated to make a direct impact in the lives of people who are blind, DeafBlind, and blind with other disabilities. The candidate also has a strong desire to develop relationships with the people the Lighthouse serves, initiative and motivation to help the Lighthouse tap into new funding sources, and work with staff to implement appropriate funding strategies.
