Giving Back

From day one, Blackwood has prioritized supporting communities, both here in Seattle and around the world. Our team regularly volunteers time, skills, and labor to support housing and community-focused efforts, often working directly on the ground where help is needed most.

Throughout the year, we organize hands-on opportunities for our staff to give back, whether that means traveling internationally for housing projects or showing up for local organizations doing meaningful work in our neighborhoods.

While we occasionally provide financial support to nonprofit partners, the heart of our impact comes from our people. Giving back keeps us connected to the communities we care about and reminds us why we do what we do.

Organizations We Support

Many adults who have been incarcerated know life after can be very difficult. They’ve served their time, learned from their mistakes, and are ready to move forward, but often struggle to find work and housing upon reentry. This leads to high unemployment and repeat incarceration rates. Weld helps change that by providing training, skills education, job connections, and clean and sober recovery housing to support successful reintegration.

Their work supports families across the largest region of any children’s hospital, committed to improving outcomes for children today and the future.

Dwellings Now is a charity committed to building homes and changing lives by providing shelter and hope for families in need, as well as a meaningful experience for those who help build them. Their work creates lasting impact for families living in difficult housing situations. It also brings volunteers and communities together to create stability and support where it is needed most. Each home represents a new beginning and a stronger community connection.

Rampathon gives our neighbors the freedom to move about. Since 1993, MBA members and community volunteers have built ramps at homes across King and Snohomish Counties, always at no cost. Because everyone deserves access, dignity, and independence. Wheelchair ramps provide essential access and help connect neighbors to the communities we all share. Each ramp is a simple but powerful way to remove barriers and create freedom of movement.
