Urban Impact

Across Seattle, too many families and neighborhoods face systemic challenges—under-resourced schools, limited economic opportunity, barriers to health and wellness, and generational inequities. Urban Impact is committed to changing that—holistically, sustainably, and alongside the communities we serve. 

For nearly 40 years, Urban Impact has been rooted in Seattle’s Rainier Valley, evolving to meet the needs of our diverse neighbors. As a multi-faceted, community-driven organization, we focus on health and wellness, economic development, youth and family outreach, and neighborhood transformation, responding to the real, felt needs of those we serve. 

How We Make an Impact:

• Youth & Family Outreach: Mentorship, safe spaces, and programs that support emotional, social, and academic growth—whether in schools, youth groups, or detention centers.
• Economic Development: Equipping entrepreneurs with business education, mentorship, access to capital, and networks to grow their ideas and create jobs.
• Health & Wellness: Providing affordable, community-centered fitness and wellness programs that strengthen individuals, families, and neighborhoods.
• Neighborhood Transformation: Partnering with local leaders and churches to tackle neighborhood challenges—affordable housing, youth education, community meals, grocery provisions, and more—through our three South Seattle community hubs.

Why Your Support Matters

Demand for our work is growing, and the most vulnerable in our community need us now more than ever. To expand our reach and deepen our impact, we must increase capacity—strengthening existing partnerships and building new ones. Your support ensures Urban Impact can continue creating access, opportunity, and lasting change across our neighborhoods. This Giving Tuesday, join us in empowering youth, supporting families, and transforming neighborhoods. Together, we can help every person and every neighborhood thrive.
