What is the Pillar Society?

To expand Washington Policy Center’s impact, support bold new initiatives, and strengthen our relationship with key supporters, we launched the Pillar Society in 2012. This distinguished group includes donors who commit to a pledge of $15,000 or more, fulfilled over three years.

While the Pillar Society offers a range of benefits, including premier placement at our major events, intimate networking opportunities with public officials and thought leaders, and special recognition and reports throughout the year,  our members contribute to bring change and opportunity to the citizens of our state. They recognize that politicians come and go, but sound public policy provides the irreplaceable foundation for long-term growth and prosperity for Washington.  

By joining the Pillar Society, you play a vital role in advancing WPC’s mission while connecting with others who share your commitment to free-market solutions and a brighter future for Washington state.

Contact Lauren Smith, Assistant Vice President for Development at lsmith@washingtonpolicy.org or (206) 946-1014 for more information.

  • Pillar Society Members Since 2014

“Our commitment to become members of the Pillar Society was initiated by attending both the Annual Dinner in Spokane, followed the next day by a WPC Spokane breakfast meeting on health care policy. WPC always does an outstanding job of researching and publishing critical issues affecting the citizens of Washington State. For this we are grateful and proud to support WPC efforts as Pillar Society members.”
