What We Do

Since 1989, the Seattle Advertising Industry Emergency Fund has provided financial assistance to individuals working in the local advertising community who confront a sudden crisis in their lives and are unable to meet their financial responsibilities.

Our Mission

The Seattle Advertising Industry Emergency Fund (SAIEF) is a volunteer organization made up of members of the Seattle Ad Community with the goal of helping colleagues in times of life crisis. If you or an industry peer is facing such a crisis, SAIEF is here to help through financial grants. SAIEF is supported by donations from advertising professionals and companies in the Greater Seattle area and through industry events.

“SAIEF helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. I am so grateful for the support they provided me.”
