Meet our first Built With Pride Scholar! We were very proud to, with your donations and support, award Riley with a scholarship at the end of 2025 to support their journey to the trades! Learn more about Riley here.

“Not everyone is as lucky or has the resources to pursue their dreams and aspirations. I feel like this scholarship will help me realize my true potential and to not give up.” - Riley, Scholarship Recipient

Your personal contributions and industry partnerships help us to continue funding the Built With Pride Scholarship, launch events for the community and ensure LGBTQ+ people have a space in the AEC industry.

In 2024 our journey began:

With the generous contributions of our sponsors, we hosted two events where we welcomed over 315 people representing 130+ regional companies and organizations! We were proud to found and fund a trades scholarship with the GSBA for LGBTQ+ individuals seeking entry into ANEW's pre-apprenticeship training programs.

Build with Pride Seattle's (BWPS) mission is to advance the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry by building safe, inclusive career networks for LGBTQIA+ people and allies in the industry. Our vision is an AEC industry where people can build successful careers without having to hide who they are, and where safe, connected communities strengthen the workforce for everyone.
