Why City of Fife Partnered with SeeMyLegacy

SeeMyLegacy gave the City of Fife exactly what they were looking for. The platform provided a simple and transparent way to showcase sponsorships, memorials, and other contributions—helping the city clearly demonstrate community investment and engagement within their grant applications.

“We go after a lot of grant funding - and one of the scoring criteria, especially in many of the Washington State grants, is community involvement. They’re not just looking for how much money you have, they want to know how the community is financially tied to the project.”
— Megan JendrickDirector of Parks and Recreation

How SeeMyLegacy Enhanced Sponsorships for City of Fife

✅ Transformed sponsorships from simple fundraising into meaningful partnerships.

✅ Provided a digital space to highlight and publicly thank local sponsors.

✅ Made it easy to show each sponsor’s real impact within the community.

“I wondered if there was a way to give back to these businesses through a platform and make it more than just a one way street of us asking for money. SeeMyLegacy became that tool for us. It gives us a way to highlight our sponsors, thank them publicly, and show their impact within our community.”
— Megan JendrickDirector of Parks and Recreation

Preserving Community Stories with QR Plaques

Through SeeMyLegacy’s interactive plaques, Fife has also discovered new ways to preserve stories and make public spaces more engaging. The team has begun adding QR codes to memorials and city art installations, allowing residents and visitors to scan and learn more about the people, artists, and projects that make Fife unique.

“We love how interactive it is. It allows residents to connect with the history and creativity around them in a really fun and meaningful way.”

Connecting Residents to the Stories Behind Their City

Fife is expanding QR plaques throughout public art installations, parks, memorials, and sponsorship displays. Each plaque connects residents to the stories, artists, and supporters behind the spaces they enjoy, creating a richer and more interactive experience across the city.

A New Way to Create Community Connection

For Fife, SeeMyLegacy has become a way to create clear visibility into how residents and businesses support local parks, art, and community projects. The platform helps the city highlight contributors, demonstrate genuine community buy-in for grants, and bring important local stories forward in a meaningful way. It’s a modern approach to showing not just what the city is building, but who is a part of it.

“SeeMyLegacy helps us tell the story of our community and it gives everyone a way to be part of it.”
