Our Impact Mission

 

The Seattle Finance Collective aims to address systemic inequality in the financial industry by expanding access to under-represented groups through education, networking, and mentorship opportunities. They hope to create a more diverse and inclusive investment finance community in Seattle by leveraging their member base and organizing industry events.

Seattle Finance Collective is a proud sponsor of Washington DECA

Seattle Finance Collective was proud to partner with Washington DECA to fund two scholarships for 2025 graduating high school seniors who have demonstrated a passion for finance and are planning to study it in college.

DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management. Some of our SFC members participated in DECA in high school and this scholarship was designed to encourage the next generation of financial leaders.

Previously, Seattle Finance Collective partnered with UW Professional & Continuing Education to fund need-based scholarships for the Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership Certificate Program. This program supported women to start or operate their own business, join an early-stage startup, invest in or advise a new company, pitch a new venture at their current workplace, and/or become leaders. In addition to the scholarship, SFC members had the opportunity to coach the students, hold office hours, and judge the final pitch presentation. This program has been on hiatus since 2024.
