100% Awesome. Go Ahead And Flex.

So mighty!

It may seem like a silly little thing to get worked up about, but we face a long, bumpy road together, so knowing the NK community is in this 100% feels pretty awesome.

It’s those pesky digital processing fees that nibble at the potential of a tiny local education movement to do just a little bit more with a dollar. This year saw 100% of the fees NKSF gets charged for participating in the 2025 Kitsap Great Give covered by donors. 

We may not have hit our goal, but that’s okay. We came together stronger than ever. Here’s why…

Even though our number of donors declined from 101 in 2021, to 27 this year, our average donation has gone up from $115 in 2021, to $202 this year. That may not seem like much, considering the math comes out to total $11,710 in 2021, while 2025 raised $5,451. Let’s also consider that in 2022, only 28% of donors returned to donate to NKSF again. After that 2022 campaign we now have a 45% average donor retention. 

That starting point feels like a movement, a community banding together consistently to support our schools. We may be small, but so very mighty!

The NKSF board can’t thank this mighty movement enough for coming out in support of NK schools this year during the 2025 Kitsap Great Give.
