CHOOSE YOUR CHAPTER

​

​When you become a Blue Heart member, your membership will fund local grassroots movement-building organizations in either of our chapters:

BAY AREA (California)

Blue Heart has been committed to assisting tenacious Bay Area-based grassroots organizations that are at the vanguard of establishing movements for justice, equity, and dignified living in low-income and marginalized communities across the Bay. Despite their significant contributions to Bay Area neighborhoods, traditional philanthropy generally overlooks these grassroots organizations. 

 

Given the proximity to Silicon Valley’s diverse and wealthy communities, we believe that their support for these organizations and communities can strengthen pipelines of resources and support in face of gentrification and other injustices that contribute to these imbalances. By supporting local organizations, we empower Silicon Valley to see the communities it touches.

SALISH SEA (Washington)

The first official chapter of Blue Heart originated in the Bay Area in 2016. 

 

In 2020, after researching several different locations for potential second chapters, we decided on the Salish Sea because of two main reasons: the abundance of resources available due to the large number of tech companies based in Seattle, and the ease of connecting with local grassroots movement-building organizations, thanks to the deep relationships that our Bay Area partners have up the West Coast.

​

Why "Salish Sea"? The Salish Sea is the defining body of water that stretches from Olympia, WA to British Columbia, Canada. We chose to name this new chapter of Blue Heart after this body of water to identify the bioregion with a name that pays tribute to the Coast Salish peoples who are indigenous to this area.
