New Matching Campaign: Let's finish what we started by June 5th. Double your impact!
If you have been in Magnolia Village over the last two weeks, you have seen a lot of construction, installations, and planting on West McGraw Street, between 33rd and 35th Avenue West. The Phases II & III beautification activities are happening because of neighbors like YOU – you who have generously donated to the Reimagine Magnolia Village project.
Phases II & III of the project are making substantial improvements to our neighborhood. New Magnolia trees have been planted, sidewalks are safer for pedestrians by expanding the paved areas, and Porous Pave has been placed in existing tree wells. New decorative poles will display banners and eventually, cascading flower baskets during spring and summer. Benches are being refurbished and will be placed along the improved sidewalks. New bike racks will make for multimodal transportation improvements. Maintenance is ongoing and being implemented.
Once we complete fundraising for Phases II & III, new tables, chairs, umbrellas, and additional maintenance tasks will be added to complete this part of the five-phased, streetscape improvement project.
That’s where you and your family and friends come in.
We’re so close – we need to raise an additional $89,500 to expand the streetscape improvements that have already added so much ambiance to the central part of the Village.
That’s why we are excited to announce that we are all in to raise the last dollars needed to complete Phases II & III.
Due to two generous donors, we have $20,000 for a matching fundraising campaign to encourage and incentivize donor engagement. For every dollar invested in the beautification project from now until the launch of the Magnolia Farmer’s Market on June 5th, your donation will be matched 1:1.
Double your impact and double our appreciation to our two generous donors who are offering the match.
If successful, the “I’m All In, Are YOU?” fundraising matching campaign will result in adding more comfy tables, chairs, the sporty red umbrellas, and keeping all looking spiffy and perky along West McGraw from 33rd to 35th Avenue West.
We are competing for another city of Seattle Department of Neighborhood grant. We will know if we were successful in mid to late May and will keep you posted once we hear from the city, yea or nay.
But between now and June 5th, your financial support is essential for completing Phases II & III, purchasing the tables, chairs, umbrellas, doing maintenance, and making the whole of Magnolia Village warm, welcoming, and wonderful for the community and its visitors.
We hope all of you will say, “I’m All In” to finishing what we started back in 2019: Beautifying and improving Magnolia Village. Donate now, double your gift, and together, let's complete Phases II & III of the Reimagine Magnolia Village project.
