Upcoming Global Washington Events

This virtual panel brings together Representative Adam Smith, along with other WA-based policy experts, for a conversation on the current state of US foreign policy and what it means for Washington State. Panelists will discuss how national policy shifts are affecting our state’s export, tech, and global development sectors, and what pathways exist for community members and organizations who want to stay engaged on these issues.

The panel also marks a meaningful moment for GlobalWA — one of our final public convenings as we conclude our work later this year. We hope it leaves attendees with a clearer picture of where US global engagement stands today and how our community can continue to advocate for the values that have defined this organization.

Join GlobalWA and SEAPAX for an evening of connection and conversation at our Networking Happy Hour! Meet globally minded professionals, expand your network, and learn about opportunities to engage with our vibrant communities. Whether you’re a longtime member or new to our networks, all are welcome to join. 

As traditional bilateral funding shifts and foundation strategies evolve, securing funding from multiple donors can unlock greater resources and credibility for NGOs—but it requires careful coordination, aligned expectations, and strategic relationship management. This session will bring together seasoned philanthropy professionals to explore how organizations can successfully navigate collaborative funding models, from traditional co-funding arrangements to emerging approaches in collective giving. Members of the GlobalWA community—from large NGOs to locally-rooted implementers—will leave with a better understanding of how to proactively coordinate multiple donors, access emerging funding models, and position themselves in collaborative arrangements.
