Supporting Foundations and Friends
These local organizations and institutions help us pursue our mission, and provide us with the grant funding that supports our operations and helps us grow.
Edmonds Community College
Edmonds Community College participates in service learning projects with Eco Encore every quarter. Many of their students volunteer for Eco Encore as well.
University of Washington Earth Club
The University of Washington Earth Club, housed at the offices of the Program on the Environment, collects donations for us on campus.

The Mountaineers
The Mountaineers collect Eco Encore donations at their office in Lower Queen Anne, and they write about us in various publications that reach their membership. They are celebrating their 100th Anniversary this year.
Flexcar
This is how we get around! Flexcar has generously waived our membership fees, and we use their fleet to haul stuff around the city. Contemplating a Flexcar membership? Tell them Eco Encore sent you, and they'll give us free driving credits!
The Re-Store
The Re-Store in Ballard is the most popular place in Seattle for dropping donations - we have to empty the bin twice a month on average.
The Seattle Foundation
This is the first year that Eco Encore has received support from the Seattle Foundation; their grant of general operating funds has helped us with our relocation and much more.
The Russell Family Foundation
We are thrilled for the continuing support of the Russell Family Foundation - this is the third year in a row that they have chosen to donate to Eco Encore. The general operating fund grant is not only helping us settle in to our new home, but is also supporting program development as we strive to enhance partnerships with other environmental nonprofits and local academic institutions.
