2014 Real Change Annual Report

A N N U A L 2014 R E P O R T
CELEBRATE OPPORTUNITY AND CHANGE
In 2014, your support created direct
opportunity for our vendors while we
fought for increased survival solutions
for Seattle’s most poor.
n Our award-winning journalism contributed to the expansion of the
Seattle City Light’s low-income Utilities Discount Program and to the
defeat of Stepping Forward, the Seattle Housing Authority’s plan to
increase rents for public housing residents.
n We tripled the number of Homeless Speakers Bureau engagements,
trained new vendor advocates, and built low-income leadership for
the future.
n Our OutsideIN pressure campaign led to new emergency shelter
solutions from both the City Council and the Mayor.
n Our dedicated readers put more than a million dollars directly into
the pockets of our vendors.
Thank you, to each of the 1,817 donors who make our success
possible. Every gift matters. Every person counts.
