​The San Gennaro Foundation is a non-profit organization, created in 2013 to honor St Gennaro, the Patron Saint of Naples, and his commitment to help people in need. It is the goal of the Foundation to raise money through events such as the San Gennaro Festival, which celebrates the Patron Saint of Naples, the Blood Miracle of St. Gennaro, and the contribution of Italian Americans to the Northwest. We are planning a fun filled event with plenty of entertainment, great food, and interesting exhibits. We will also have the participation of the Puget Sound Blood Center and will hold a blood drive during the event, in honor of the Blood Miracle of St Gennaro. Each year the foundation chooses local charities to donate a portion of the proceeds. Past charities include: Treehouse, Camp Goodtimes, and Bloodworks NW.

In recent years more and more Austrians are moving to the Pacific Northwest, mostly younger, highly talented professionals, recruited by one of the Tech giants in town. To connect Austrians living here and to serve their needs according to their interest and age, new forms of community platforms have emerged. This is exciting, and it is important to support these efforts so that every Austrian living in the Pacific Northwest feels connected and included. These different groups help provide attractive and effective choices of social and professional connections, geared to different interests. Please see flyer of a summary of the diverse Austrian Groups and organizations in the Pacific Northwest.
