Donations and Sponsorships
Supporting healthy, sustainable communities across the PNW
For 120 years, AAA Washington has proudly supported communities across the PNW through donations to local nonprofits and community event sponsorships.
Giving Guidelines: Who We Support
Our giving efforts focus on two key pillars tied to our business, with DEI at its core:
Healthy, Sustainable Communities
Rooted in our founding principles from 1904, we’ve been dedicated to preserving and enhancing our region’s natural beauty for the future. Now, 120 years later, our commitment to fostering healthy, sustainable communities remains unwavering. These communities not only embrace inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation but also prioritize the well-being of our planet. Our support is most effective when focused on our core areas of expertise: automotive, travel, and insurance.
Safer Mobility for All
At the heart of safe mobility lies a commitment to fostering environments where pedestrians – walkers and rollers, cyclists, motorists, and public transportation users can coexist. As we navigate through bustling streets, busy highways, and evolving transportation systems, safety becomes increasingly paramount. At the heart of safe mobility lies a commitment to fostering environments where pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and public transportation users can coexist harmoniously, free from the threat of accidents, injuries, or fatalities. It's about more than just obeying traffic laws; it's about designing inclusive infrastructure, promoting awareness, and advocating for policies that prioritize safety for all road users, regardless of age, ability, or mode of transportation.
