About Us

Our Organization

The Washington State Department of Transportation Memorial Foundation was founded in 2010 exclusively for charitable, educational, and benevolent purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation provides financial assistance to State Department of Transportation employees who become disabled in the line of duty, to surviving spouses and children of Fallen Workers and for the families of employees impacted by catastrophic injury or illness.

The Washington State Department of Transportation Memorial Foundation is primarily intended to provide financial assistance to departmental employees, retirees, and their families. Our programs are funded through employee contributions and outside donations, as well as through activities and events throughout the state.

The Memorial Foundation is governed by a board of directors and recorded By-Laws.
