Seattle Amistad School is an independent two-way immersion school that opened in 2012 in the Central District. Students at Amistad experience a rigorous, dynamic academic curriculum where they also develop full bi-lingualism and biliteracy in Spanish and English. Our mission is to foster community integrity through rigorous bilingual and bicultural education, and to develop our students’ academic strengths and cultural sensibilities, while nurturing them as compassionate and engaged citizens. Donations go directly to scholarships. CORPORATE MATCHING GIFT Many employers offer matching gift programs that double or even triple charitable donations made by their employees. Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and spouses. Employers may also offer volunteer matching programs that match volunteer hours with corporate donations. Check with your company to see if they participate in corporate matching. If your company does have a matching program, they should provide you with a paper or online matching gift form.
