Villa Comunitaria

When Families Thrive, Communities Thrive. Make It Happen This GiveBIG.

Villa Comunitaria is a Latine-led nonprofit in South Park serving immigrant families across Seattle and South King County. For over 20 years, we have provided free, culturally rooted services in Spanish, from housing stability and workforce development to early childhood education and civic leadership. 

Our model is simple: when a family gets the support they need, they do not just survive. They become leaders in their own community. 

This GiveBIG, we are raising $20,000 for our Crisis Response Fund: the work that keeps Villa's door open for families who have nowhere else to turn. Our goal is to respond to 100 families in crisis through 2026, from rental assistance and utility support to gas vouchers and the case management that turns a crisis into a path forward.

In 2025, Villa handled 246 tenant cases and kept 19 Seattle families housed through $122,193 in direct rental assistance. Behind every one of those numbers is a family who came to us in a moment when everything else had fallen through.

Earlier this year, a single mother came to Villa after surviving domestic violence, a workplace injury, and an eviction notice she could not answer alone. A $1,000 rental assistance gift stopped the eviction. She and her daughter stayed in their home.

But beyond the financial help, she found something just as powerful: support. Through her case manager's compassion and steady guidance, she no longer felt alone. For the first time in a long while, she felt seen, heard, and accompanied.

These are not isolated cases. Villa's case managers respond to families in crisis every week. A widow whose husband had a stroke received $900 in rental assistance during the most difficult season of her life. An elderly neighbor without electricity for nearly 20 days had his service restored within 24 hours through $500 in emergency support. A senior facing the expiration of his pandemic-era housing voucher was placed into a new program for low-income elders before he could lose his home.

Your GiveBIG gift makes sure the next family has that same door to knock on.

GiveBIG 2026 supports the programs your neighbors depend on: 

• Life-Saving Skills: 247 community members earned HeartSaver CPR certifications in 2025 through one of the only Spanish-language programs of its kind in the region 
• Economic Mobility: 47 adults completed digital skills training and 27 improved their English, with an 80% graduation rate across all cohorts 
• Small Business Growth: 41 Latine entrepreneurs received business licenses and 132 adults received one-on-one financial coaching 
• Early Childhood: Jardin Infantil, our cooperative preschool where 20 families learn and grow together 
• Community Health: Promotoras reached 702 community members through health education workshops in 2025 

Your gift goes directly to work: 

Every dollar raised through GiveBIG goes directly to our Crisis Response Fund and the programs it supports, provided at no cost to families facing language barriers, immigration-related stress, and economic hardship. This community takes care of itself. GiveBIG is how you become part of that.
