As a non-profit, non-partisan organization, TNWAC is supported by private funding from individual and corporate member dues and contributions.

As a regional center for education and discussion of world affairs, the Council seeks to provide leadership for global thinking, believing that a broad perspective is necessary for effective competition in the global economy and for responsible citizenship in the increasingly interdependent political world.

  • An education – Members of the World Affairs Council participate in in-depth discussions—not lectures—on timely global topics with local relevance.

  • A statement – By becoming a member of the World Affairs Council, you’re making a statement that you support our efforts to reach students, to engage the community on global issues, and build greater Seattle’s reputation as globally relevant and globally aware. Membership reinforces the values of responsible global citizenship.

Membership supports each of the Council’s core focus areas: in-depth community programs; and the global education outreach program that provides resources to teachers and students.

TNWAC is a 501(c)(3) organization. Because the benefits of membership are “intangible”, we believe the membership fee is a tax-deductible contribution. However, it is always best to consult your tax advisor to determine the deductibility of membership.
