Our social impact work focused on digital equity and career-connected learning has distributed $385k through targeted initiatives and supported hundreds of local students and families.

Housing Affordability. Climate Change. Transportation Infrastructure. Digital equity. We tackle important community topics that lead to shared prosperity in our region.

2021 ANNUAL REPORT
The COVID-19 pandemic and related dynamics continued to provide substantial challenges for our communities, workplaces, and lives in 2021. Despite these headwinds sea.citi continued to thrive, doing what we do best, connecting tech and community. Three years into operations and we continue to grow our reach and impact. This year saw more event attendees than ever as the workforce and community sought to understand the changing region. We teamed up with incredible partners to amplify work on digital equity and the future of communities. In our Tech Civic Survey, tech workers told us remote/hybrid work is here to stay and we shared that message broadly to prepare the region for future shifts.
