Emerald City Supper Club is a 501(c)3 nonprofit with the mission of bringing friends and family together to raise awareness of, funds for, and a glass to charitable organizations in our community that we’d like to support.
We reward no-strings-attached $10,000 grants to nonprofits in the greater Seattle area by hosting free-to-attend dinners for 100 guests who commit to donating $100 to the winner of the ECSC Greater Good Award. Supper Clubbers nominate nonprofits in the months leading up to the dinner, and guests vote on the winner that evening.
Since our first event in 2019, we have raised $50,000 for our community.
How much does it cost to attend a dinner? The cost of the dinner is covered by the registration fee ($25) when you RSVP. You do “spend” $100 at the dinner when you contribute your $100 towards the Greater Good award. None of the $100 goes towards event costs – 100% is donated to the winning nonprofit.
