“Seattle is a better, kinder, and more thoughtful place because of the work that you all do. Thank you.”

Co-author SAL’s story with a special year-end gift today!
As an organization committed to nurturing our collective literary ecosystem, we lean into connection, reciprocity, and co-creation in all that we do. We look to you, the readers, thinkers, writers—the co-authors—of the SAL story to help carry our work forward in the next year. Your gift will help us make transformational experiences with stories and language accessible to all.
Saturday, March 21, 2026 5:30 pm – 9:30 pm PST
Please join us Saturday, March 21, 2026 for an evening of revelry and literary flourishing at Seattle Arts & Lectures’ annual fundraiser, The SAL Gala: Words Bloom. Together, we’ll raise $750,000 so we can continue cultivating transformative experiences through story and language with readers and writers of all generations!
SAL counts on supporters like you to help us bring our community together – people of all ages and backgrounds – to read and write, to listen deeply, and to bring forward the voices we all need to hear. Sixty percent of our annual revenue comes from charitable donations. Please join us to power another year of inspiration, conversation, and community.
Generous support from corporate sponsors, foundations, and public entities makes it possible for SAL to bring people of all ages and backgrounds together for transformative literary arts experiences. Learn more about becoming a corporate sponsor today.
Planned giving allows you to leave a literary legacy and helps ensure Seattle Arts & Lectures’ ability to create transformative experiences for readers and writers of future generations. If SAL is important to you, your planned gift will help support the programs you love, beyond your lifetime.
