Help Us Sustain the Next 10,000 Creators
Every day, a new story begins in our community: a creative spark turns into a tangible game, a developer finds their team, a new business is launched. This only happens because of supporters like you.
This year, Seattle Indies reached a major milestone: 10,000 members!
To serve this scale, we launched game-changing programs, including the SLICE conference, established 4 new regional hubs (like Tacoma and Olympia), and facilitated over 130 mentorship matches.
This Giving Tuesday, your gift sustains this crucial new scale. You’re not just donating; you're investing in the future of the Pacific Northwest’s creative economy and ensuring creativity remains open to everyone.
Our Goal: $10,000 to Fund Regional Growth & Mentorship

Make Your Impact Last: Become a Monthly Sustainer
Thank you for considering a one-time gift! But to truly secure the future of our expanding programs—like SLICE, the Mentorship Matches, and our new Regional Hubs—we need predictable, sustained support.
A monthly gift provides the stable foundation for us to plan, hire, and grow without interruption. By becoming a Monthly Sustainer, you guarantee that a vital resource is always ready for the next developer, month after month.
Choose the "Monthly" option when you donate today to turn your Giving Tuesday generosity into year-round support for the entire community.
