Kitsap Great Give 2025

Kitsap Great Give 2024 Review; 2025 Goals; 2025 Date Reminder

Help us build support for education in North Kitsap!

2025 is a perfect year to step up our efforts for community engagement and support for the students and teachers of our school district.

We’re a quarter of the way through this century. Humanity has been through a lot, our nation has been through a lot, and the North Kitsap community has been through a lot. It’s time to revive our focus on community and education, and what better way than to show your support during the first major community fundraiser of the year.

During 2024’s Kitsap Great Give campaign, we raised a total of $6,665. While we didn’t reach our goal, there were a few points of note:

• 2024 funds raised was only $1,554 lower than the 2023 campaign

• In 2023, we had 49 donors during the campaign, averaging $168 per donor

• In 2024, we had only 34 donors, who averaged $203 apiece!

Every dollar counts!

• In 2024 NKSF donors covered 99% of the platform and transaction fees!

This means that we didn’t have to pay out several hundred dollars to cover the fees for the fundraising platform, and we were able to add $323 from the Kitsap Community Foundation’s Bonus Pool to our grants program.

Together we can build strong schools, and a strong community. On March 11, 2025, come out in support of North Kitsap education as a donor to the North Kitsap Schools Foundation through the Kitsap Great Give campaign.

Our goal for 2025 is: $9,000
