These benches will become a permanent part of the new plaza, and will provide a resting place for people to enjoy the statue, the water and the sunsets far into the future.

Your gift of $5,000 and above on one of the 15 available planned benches will be honored by a plaque permanently set into the bench.

Your gift is tax-deductible.  We operate under the fiscal sponsorship of Urban Sparks, www.urbansparks.org, a Seattle non-profit corporation organized under Sec. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Seattle Statue of Liberty Plaza Project exists to finish the project begun by the Alki Beach community and the citizens of Seattle some years ago.  For a fuller history of the project, please see the History page of this website (coming soon).

Urban Sparks began several years ago specifically to assist projects like ours.  They recognized that many well-meaning groups became bogged down in the sheer detail of "dotting the 'I's' and crossing the 'T's'" of projects of this sort, and that without a 501(c)(3) status, it becomes extremely difficult to raise the amount of money necessary for a project of this magnitude.

Specific to their projects is the following language, which assures donors of both the intentions of the organization to which you are donating and the tax-deductible status:

"By making your check payable to SSLPP/Urban Sparks, you acknowledge that Urban Sparks, as Fiscal Sponsor of Seattle Statue of Liberty Plaza Project, has full control of the donated funds and full discretion to ensure that they are used in furtherance of Urban Sparks 501(c)(3) purposes."
