GIVING BACK IN KITSAP COUNTY

Our communities thrive through the input and inspiration of those members in it. We grow, improve, and succeed by working together. As you begin to explore the Kitsap communities, take a moment to look around and discover what is important to you and your family. Then take that next step to make a difference in areas you care about. You can volunteer your time, share your expertise, and of course donate financially to specific causes.

There are an abundance of charities in Kitsap County, and you can explore them through the Kitsap County Community Foundation

(KCCF) website. Their vision is to foster an abundant future where everyone in our community has the opportunity to thrive through inspired generosity. As a catalyst for greater good, the KCCF works with donors and others in the region to invest in non-profit organizations and foster a more vibrant Kitsap County.
