Dorothy Priscilla "Patsy" Bullitt Collins (1920-2003) was an American philanthropist.

Born in Seattle on September 24, 1920 to the wealthy A. Scott Bullitt and Dorothy Bullitt, during her childhood she lived in a 23-room mansion in The Highlands.[1] She graduated from Vassar College in 1942.[2]

She married Josiah Collins VI, son of Seattle politician Josiah Collins, in 1947. Her first husband, Larry Norman, a USAAF navigator, had been killed over Germany or as a POW in 1943.[1]

She was chairperson of King Broadcasting Company, founded by her mother, from 1972 until 1992 when it was sold to The Providence Journal.[2]

After her parents' death, she and her sisters donated $100 million to the Bullitt Foundation for environmental causes, bought classical radio station KING-FM and donated it to the Seattle Symphony, Seattle Opera and what is now ArtsFund.[1]

She died at her home in First Hill, Seattle, on June 24, 2003.[2] She bequeathed a final $71.5 million to CARE, The Nature Conservancy and the Trust for Public Land,[3] among the top 20 largest American charitable donations of the year.[4]
