Janet Levinger

Janet Levinger has been an active community leader in the nonprofit sector since moving to the Seattle area in 1996. She is passionate about early learning and education advocacy, believing that investing in children, and especially young children, will not only improve their lives but will also have enormous positive outcomes for our community. She and her husband Will Poole joined SVP in 1997. Janet was part of the team that developed the original volunteer model for investees. She has served on the K-12 new grant committee and the Early Learning Advocacy and Policy Committee. In addition to SVP, Janet serves on many boards and committees including United Way King County, Thrive by Five Washington, League of Education Voters, Child Care Resources, and Bellevue Schools Foundation. She is a founding board member of Eastside Prep School in Kirkland. Janet worked for 16 years in high-tech marketing. She has a BA from Brown University. When she isn’t volunteering her time, she loves to bike, cook, and travel. She lives with her husband, two teen-age kids, and two cats in Bellevue.
