2026 GiveBIG is quickly approaching! On May 5th, 2026, we are proud to once again participate in this global day of generosity that celebrates the vital work nonprofits bring to our communities.
This year, SPF invites you to support the Seattle Polish Foundation’s Cultural Fund. Your contribution does more than preserve our traditions—it ensures they remain accessible to everyone.
Thanks to your generosity, our programs offer free and open access to those who need it most, making Polish culture available to all members of our community, regardless of their circumstances. By expanding our programming and removing financial barriers, we can continue sharing the vibrant heart of Poland with the entire Seattle area.
We are thrilled to share that the SPF Board of Directors will match all contributions up to $5,000. Every dollar you give goes twice as far in supporting talented artists and enriching the programming at the Polish Festival at Seattle Center, the Seattle Polish Film Festival, and the Polish Cultural Center.
Seattle Polish Film Festival
Seattle Polish Film Festival brings the best and newest Polish film productions to the Seattle audiences. This year it will have its 34th edition. The festival is produced by the Seattle Gdynia Sister City Association, and it is prepared by a group of dedicated volunteers that spend countless hours working on its programming, scheduling, and logistics. The whole festival is financed by grants and donations. All screenings are free, so your donations are essential. Please visit the festival’s website: www.polishfilms.org
SPFF is asking for donations that would cover the cost of venue rental. The SIFF Uptown Cinema has been our home for many years, and we hope to stay there for many years to come. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to cover a significant part of the rental fee. Thank you for your generosity, and enjoy the movies!
