Monthly Giving May is a Team Effort - Join us!
Did you know that our region’s families are spending upwards of 30 MONTHS on learn-to-swim wait lists? Or that it’s been 54 YEARS since the last public pool was built on the Eastside? These are just two examples of how our community’s access to public aquatics and essential swim lessons is embarrassingly underserved—and of why SPLASHFoward is inviting you to join our new Monthly Giving Donor Circle.
See our suggested donation levels below and give today!
We appreciate your support! All gifts make a difference
Monthly Giving Levels
The daily drop in fee will be less than $15
Less than the projected daily drop-in fee at the new Bellevue Aquatic Center! Your contribution helps us bring affordable access to this world-class facility closer to reality.
Families spend up to 30 months on learn-to-swim wait lists
Many local families face 30-month waitlists for learn-to-swim lessons. Your support helps us increase capacity and launch programs like our Every 2nd Grader Learns to Swim to address this critical need.
55 years since the last public pool.
It's been 55 years since the last public pool was built on the Eastside. Your ongoing commitment helps us build a new, world-class aquatic center to serve our growing and diverse community.
We supported over 100 students to become lifeguards in 2024.
In 2024, SPLASHForward certified over 100 high school lifeguard students. Your support allows us to continue this vital training, increasing water safety and providing valuable skills to young people.
$300 is the cost of lifeguard certification.
In SPLASHForward’s High School Lifeguard Training program, we cover the cost of certification, support teens with skill development, offer incentives, and provide them with resources to find a job.

Identify Project Partners
Help us build our 'complete story' to take to potential partners and identify our project champions.
Through generous individuals and aquatics groups, we have raised initial funds to hire an independent nationally recognized aquatics consultant, Isaac Sports Group, to develop a deep regional aquatics analysis to inform the programmatic needs, forecast the economic impact and set the stage to build partnerships.
We need additional funds to continue our work with our aquatics consultant, hire a fundraising consultant to perform a fundraising feasibility study, and support our Aquatics Pathways and High School Lifeguard Training initiatives, and hire marketing and fundraising professionals to raise awareness and bring this project across the finish line.
