Overview

Background

The Morgan Fund (a Donor Advised Fund held at the Seattle Foundation) was established in 2004 to support performing arts organizations. It exists for one reason: to promote better art.

Art that tells new stories in powerful ways and sets new and unique frames on old ones. Art that is brave and strong. In order to tell those powerful stories, we also support organizations that work to train the next generation of artists and technicians.

Our primary focus is

  • theatre and
  • dance.

Art flourishes best within a community of collaborators.
