Foundation for International Understanding Through Students (FIUTS)

The FIUTS Community Clean-Up & Block Party will foster a sense of community spirit and serve as a joyful kickoff to the academic year, encouraging longtime neighbors and new students to come together for neighborhood service and celebration. Our office is located in the Jack Straw Building on Roosevelt. It's a community that is close to the UW campus but somewhat isolated from the business of the Ave. The neighborhood is a mixture of longtime residents and students, and each fall many new students join the community in rented housing. Many students living nearby are international students, who often struggle with feelings of isolation and culture shock. In our work at FIUTS, we strive to build meaningful connections between students and community members, and we see this event as a special way to foster community and promote understanding and respect for the diverse backgrounds and cultures in our own backyard.

Foundation for International Understanding Through Students

Starting in August, FIUTS will recruit both students and residents to participate in a clean-up project focused on the area between Roosevelt and 7th Avenue NE, from NE 42nd to NE 45th Street. This helps new and longtime neighbors work side-by-side to care for the shared neighborhood. Following the clean-up, the Block Party and BBQ will be held on September 19, 2025. It will be a kickoff to the academic year and a celebration of community. The Block Party will be on NE 43rd Street between Roosevelt and 9th Avenue NE, next to the FIUTS office in the Jack Straw Building. Now in its third year, the event brings together more than 400 students and community members for food, music, and connection. With many international students new to the area, the event fosters belonging, builds cross-cultural relationships, and strengthens ties between the University District’s diverse residents. The project will be completed by October 31, 2025.

Friends of Alki Beach

Friends of Alki Beach is seeking funding for Phase One of the Alki Avenue Revitalization Project, focused on improving pedestrian safety and supporting small business recovery along the critical "Restaurant Row" corridor on Alki Avenue between 55th to 62nd Streets. This area supports some of Seattle’s highest traffic in the summer. But in the winter with dark neglected park areas and no summer tourists, area restaurants suffer extremely low traffic. As the City repairs long-neglected light posts in this busy but struggling district, this project proposes adding custom-designed flags to enhance visibility, signal positive change, and break the cycle of neglect—addressing the "broken-window syndrome”. These colorful, well-placed flags serve as affordable, high-impact wayfinding tools that make the corridor more inviting, walkable, and vibrant. The project directly aligns with city goals to foster safe, pedestrian-friendly streets and sustain local small businesses.
