As GivingTuesday comes to a close, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who chose to support Washington Policy Center today.
This annual day of generosity is a powerful reminder of what can happen when people across our state and country come together to invest in the causes that matter most. Your support strengthens WPC’s work to advance sound public policy, expand opportunity, and champion a future where free enterprise and individual liberty can thrive. If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to participate, there’s still time this evening to make a year-end contribution and stand with WPC as we continue this important work.
To those who made a gift today — thank you. Your generosity fuels our research, amplifies our voice at the state and local level, and helps ensure Washingtonians have access to principled, fact-based policy solutions on the issues shaping our state. You make it possible for our experts to bring clarity to complex debates, challenge costly regulations, and offer real alternatives that protect families, businesses, and communities.
Every contribution, no matter the size, directly supports this mission. For example:
$50 can sponsor a Young Professionals membership, helping the next generation of leaders engage in policy discussions.
$500 produces one of Paul Guppy's widely read weekly policy updates, keeping thousands of citizens informed.
$1,000 could send Agriculture Director Pam Lewison to the 2026 Washington & Oregon Potato Conference to advocate for farmers and rural communities.
$5,000 funds our researchers’ travel to Olympia throughout the legislative session so they can testify, meet lawmakers, and share solutions grounded in real data.
$10,000 allows WPC to place a billboard in Seattle informing residents that their personal share of the light rail budget is an astonishing $55,000 — a message that sparks critical conversations about transparency and accountability.
Your gift today helps ensure a stronger, freer Washington tomorrow. We are truly grateful to have you as part of the WPC community. Thank you for helping make this GivingTuesday both meaningful and impactful.
Gratefully,
Lauren H. Smith
Assistant Vice President for Development
