GrantsHow We Grant

What Matters to You?

You care about the future of Bainbridge Island. So do we.

Bainbridge Community Foundation (BCF) awards grants to local causes in a variety of ways. For example, we have an annual Community Grants Cycle and Area of Interest Funds, which can make a big difference in your life as well as the lives of our neighbors. We also also build permanent funds for distribution throughout the year. Our giving strategy focuses on short- and long-term impact, permanence, and sustainability. We aim to meet community needs today while preparing for tomorrow. See below for a list of the ways we give back, or contact us to learn more about how this works! 

Do you want to make a difference? We do the analysis, and if you want guidance on where to focus your resources, we are here for you. If you prefer a more hands-off approach and want us to take on the administrative burden, we are here for you too. 

Do you want to address the needs of our community? BCF board members and staff have deep community roots. We diligently review the finances and operations of each grant applicant to determine where BCF dollars will make the greatest impact. Review our library of reports for highlights, details, and all the numbers.
