Champions of Change

This month, stores throughout Washington are raising funds to provide free after-school meals at eligible schools in our local communities. Together, we can create another avenue of consistent food access for youth, as well as support their extracurricular efforts to enhance their lives. Thank you for your support!

What exactly is Champions of Change?

Community-based organizations are essential to protecting and improving lives across our region. Each of us built our businesses with a shared purpose in strengthening communities by changing systems, investing in solutions, advancing housing, and shaping thoughtful design. Our foundation was created as the philanthropic extension of that work.

As we begin our 5th year at the Champions of Change Foundation, we do so with deep pride in the resilience and impact of the organizations we’ve partnered with since day one.

Now more than ever, community-based organizations are essential to protecting and improving lives across our region. Each of us built our businesses with a shared purpose in strengthening communities by changing systems, investing in solutions, advancing housing, and shaping thoughtful design. Our foundation was created as the philanthropic extension of that work.

Our commitment is simple: support local organizations embedded in their communities and deliver services grounded in dignity, empowerment, and cross-sector collaboration.

Like any strong team, we know we can accomplish far more together than we ever could alone. We’re inspired by what lies ahead.

In community,
Michael, Cliff, and Doug
