What is the Kitsap great give?Simply put, the Kitsap Great Give will be the greatest day of charity that

Kitsap County has ever experienced! The goal is to raise at least $500,000 in online donations for local nonprofits. Whether or not we reach that goal is up to you and the thousands of other residents of this County who we hope will participate on May 6. Please take part in the Great Give.

Why should i bother to donate online on May 6?

There are lots of reasons to take part on May 6. First, you’ll be part of something bigger than yourself, a group of thousands of people who donate that day to celebrate and support 200 nonprofit organizations working in every corner of the Greater Kitsap area. If we all take part, we can smash the goal of raising $500,000 that day!

Second, this is your chance to learn about all of the wonderful nonprofits that are working hard every day to make our communities better places to live, work, and play. At www.kitsapgreatgive.org you can view the profiles of 200 nonprofits that work in Kitsap County.

Third, any donations you make that day will be magnified by sponsors

of the event. For instance, if you donate $100 to a nonprofit through www.kitsapgreatgive.org that day, the nonprofit will actually receive $115, $120, or

more dollars. You see, some very generous sponsors have donated over $100,000 to this event. That money will be given to

all of the nonprofits taking part on May 6 – the more donations a nonprofit receives, the more of the

$100,000 it will receive. So make sure you donate to your favorite nonprofits on May 6

and help them get part of that $100,000!

Finally, there are fun prizes throughout the day. For instance, between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. that day, one donor will be randomly chosen each hour. The winning donor each hour will have $250 added to their donation! Take part on May 6 and help “your” nonprofits win these prizes!

so how exactly does it work?

It’s very simple, really. For 24 hours, from 12:00 a.m. on May 6 until 11:59 on

May 6, you can go to www.kitsapgreatgive.org, look through the 200 local nonprofits

listed there, and donate as much or as little ($10 minimum) to as many nonprofits as you’d like in a

single transaction using a credit card. That’s it.

The website will keep a running total in real-time of the total amount raised so far; so you can check in throughout the day and see if we’re getting close to the $500,000 goal. And you can also see, in real-time, how much money each of “your” nonprofits has raised that day.

Help nonprofits. Help our communities. Win prizes for your nonprofits. Feel good about yourself. Please be a part of the biggest day of charity in our County’s history!

By Kol Medina, Kitsap Community Foundation executive Director

The Kitsap Community Foundation, in partnership with our Presenting Partner, the United Way of Kitsap County, is pleased to produce the Kitsap Great Give. Our mission at the Foundation is to “improve our community’s quality of life by connecting people who care with causes that matter.” The Kitsap Great Give accomplishes that mission in an efficient and county-wide manner.

I believe that you are a person who cares and that there are causes that matter to you. If I’m right, than the Kitsap Great Give is a tool that you will want to use; it will allow you to more efficiently and effectively support the causes that matter to you. On page 3 of this insert, you can read about exactly how the Great Give works.

We at the Foundation hope that the Great Give will raise $500,000 for local nonprofits on May 6. But we also love this event because, for one day, it will shine a bright light on the hard and important work of nonprofits. And we love this event because of its spirit – it’s a way for all of our local nonprofits to work together to raise the tide for all of them. At the Foundation, we believe deeply in the power of collaboration to improve our nonprofits and our community.

Kitsap Community Foundation is YOUR community foundation. Our purpose is to improve our community by working to better the nonprofits in our community, working to increase philanthropy in our community, and providing leadership in our nonprofit sector. The Foundation is young, having made its first grants in 1999. Since that time, the Foundation has distributed over $1.7 million dollars to approximately 150 different greater Kitsap area nonprofits.

Our central program is working to grow an endowment of money that will provide grants to the nonprofits in our community FOREVER. Currently, the endowment is $4.3 million. Our goal is to increase it to at least $10 million within four years and to continue growing from there. Our community will be well served by a strong community foundation with a large endowment that is annually providing millions of dollars to support our community’s nonprofits.

One of the most popular types of funds in the Foundation’s endowment is a “donor advised fund.” Put simply, a donor-advised fund allows you to donate a sum of money (minimum $10,000) today, or whenever you’d like including in your will, and to then work with the Foundation to make donations out of your fund forever to the nonprofits you recommend. This is a charitable legacy that can be named after you and can be passed on to your children. And better yet, you get to use the expertise and relationships of the Foundation’s staff and Board to make the most of your giving and to ensure your gifts are used appropriately.

Find more information on the Foundation’s website at www.kitsapfoundation.org or by contacting me at [email protected] or 360-698-3622. I hope to be a partner with you in your personal philanthropy!

The Kitsap Great Give would not be possible without the generous support of the event’s sponsors. Together these sponsors donated over $130,000! Please shower the sponsors with your thanks, appreciation, and business.

The largest sponsor, and the event’s Presenting Partner, is the United Way of Kitsap County. Kitsap Community Foundation, the organization that is producing the Great Give, is extremely thankful for United Way’s sponsorship, partnership, and dedication to improving our community.

The Lead Sponsors of the event are Bremerton Bottling Company, which is our local Pepsi distributor; the A.Y. Petter Fund at the Kitsap Community Foundation; and an anonymous donor. We are thankful for their deep support of the Great Give and our community.

Without the major assistance of the event’s Media Sponsors, the Great Give could not possibly succeed. We are deeply grateful to the Sound Publishing group of papers (Bainbridge Island Review, North Kitsap Herald, Central Kitsap Reporter, Bremerton Patriot, & Port Orchard Independent); the Kitsap Sun; Wet Apple

Media (West Sound Home & Garden Magazine and the Kitsap Peninsula Business Journal); and Bremerton Kitsap Access Television (BKAT).

The next level of Sponsors are Susan Wiggs (a New York Times #1 bestselling romance author); the Kitsap Credit

Union; and Orchard Foods Corp (our local Taco Bells and KFCs). We thank these Sponsors for making a substantial donation to the event and doing what they can to make it as successful as possible.

Counted as Supporters of the Kitsap Great Give are Bainbridge Community Foundation; Land Title Company; and Bainbridge Organic Distillers. Finally, the following three organizations sponsored prizes that will be given away during the

event: Ios Ranch (a full-service equestrian facility on Bainbridge); Point White Design; and The Point

Casino. Without all of these Supporters and Prize Sponsors, the Great Give would not achieve its goals.

Kitsap Community Foundation and the 200 nonprofits taking part in the Kitsap Great Give deeply appreciate the support

of these generous sponsors!

United Way of Kitsap County would like to thank both the Kitsap Community Foundation for establishing the Kitsap Great Give and all of the sponsors who have contributed to the local matching pool of dollars. This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to help and have their gifts matched. All of the funds raised on this one day of giving will go to the hard working and dedicated nonprofit agencies throughout Kitsap County that make up our community’s safety net. This network of nonprofits, including United Way and the Kitsap Community Foundation, strive every day to provide safety net services to help the

less fortunate and vulnerable families struggling to make ends meet each day. These services are critical to providing safe, warm housing and adequate food on the family table.

As a Presenting Partner alongside the Kitsap Community Foundation, we are invested in the Kitsap Great Give’s matching funds pool and pledge that every dollar pledged to United Way on May 6 will also be invested in our partner agencies to help strengthen the safety net. We are committed to the Kitsap community and strive every year to raise charitable dollars to aid those most in need with the hope that we can help lift individuals and families out of poverty to create a better life for their children.

To those who participate in this day of giving, we thank you in advance for partnering with United Way, Kitsap Community Foundation and all of the Great Give Sponsors for your gifts. It is through charitable giving that the Board of Directors at

United Way and the Kitsap Community Foundation are able to help provide a strong and vibrant community safety net giving those most vulnerable in our community an opportunity for a better life.

West Sound Youth for Christ seeks community transformation through holistic and relational outreach to kids and families.

Each week, throughout Kitsap and North Mason counties, West Sound Youth for Christ engages with over 2,000 kids in schools, juvenile institutions, coffee shops, and local hangouts. Whether at the skate park, helping a foster child find a permanent home, or coaching a teen mom through the struggles of parenting, Youth for Christ staff and volunteers show the love of Christ in tangible ways. While our faith motivates us to action, our programs are open to young people of all backgrounds and beliefs. Our goal is that these young people become change agents in their community, school, neighborhood, and city. Youth for Christ empowers adults in volunteer service, equipping them to safely build relationships with unchurched young people.

Mother Teresa once said “To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.” I like to think of this quote in the context of philanthropy (charitable giving). I think of the size of the flame in the lamp as a sign of the health of our communities; and I think of philanthropy as the oil in the lamp. Charitable giving, the dollars and time that we all give to nonprofits in our community, has a huge impact on the size of the flame because the nonprofits in our community provide so many of the services and qualities that make our communities healthy.

The Kitsap Great Give is designed to put a lot of oil in our communities’ lamps. If we all take part in the event, we’ll raise over $500,000 for nonprofits in our community on May 6. It will be the largest day of charity

ever experienced in this County, the single greatest injection of oil ever made into the lamp! 200 different nonprofits are eligible to receive your donations at www.kitsapgreatgive.org on May 6.

That’s 200 organizations that educate our children and adults, protect and improve our environment, take care of our elderly and disabled, provide fun and meaning through arts and culture, support our veterans, provide food to the hungry, give clothes to the poor, and help to heal those suffering from drug addictions and mental health issues.

I encourage you to go to www.kitsapgreatgive.org on May 6 and, if nothing else, just look through all of the nonprofits listed there and see the

immense benefits that nonprofits and philanthropy bring to our community. We need to keep all of these lamps burning brightly.

As it stands already, a lot of oil is put into our nonprofit lamps in the greater Kitsap area. In 2012, a massive study was released showing the level of giving in each community around our country in 2008 (you can look it up online at “How America Gives” and search by your city). This study found that the good citizens of Kitsap County donated over $105 million dollars to charity in 2008.

And the study was only capturing about 60% of actual giving, which means it is likely that members of our community – you, me, and all of our neighbors in this County –

donated over $150 million to charity in 2008. That ranks Kitsap County as the 255th most giving county in the country (out of 3,115 counties).

Also of note is the total revenue of the nonprofits in our community. There are approximately 250 public charities based in Kitsap County. In 2012, they had a combined revenue of $650 million. That’s $650 million that these nonprofits spent to help us, our neighbors, and our families and to make our community a better place to live, work, and play.

Please support these nonprofits by putting oil in the lamp at www.kitsapgreatgive.org on May 6!

IT ALL BEGINS AT CAMPPositive af� rmation, love and hope are the “norms” at Royal Family KIDS Camp – where 40 foster children will receive the gift of hope for a better tomorrow.But we don’t stop there. We know that this week of Camp transforms lives and we keep the positive momentum rolling throughout the school year with our Club and Mentor Program!

• Through Royal Family KIDS Club and Mentor Program, abused children are surrounded with positive role models on a consistent basis.

• Club and Mentors offer children of abuse and neglect a sense of belonging.

• Club provides foster children with a fun environment where they can feel safe.

• Children learn that they can count on their mentor to be a caring presence in their lives.

The combination of Camp, Club and Mentors is effectively serving children of abuse, abandonment and neglect today—while transforming their tomorrow.

Your donation to us during the Kitsap Great Give Event will greatly enhance our ability to serve these teens that are in such great need.
