The Kitsap Community Foundation is a tax-exempt, independent philanthropic organization based in Silverdale, Washington. It is organized and operated as a permanent pool of endowed funds, with investment income used to benefit Kitsap County and its residents over the long term. The foundation positions itself as a community-supported entity in the philanthropic fundraising sector, serving as a steward of endowment funds to support local needs. Its mission is to improve quality of life by connecting people who care with causes that matter. It pursues this through increasing the culture of philanthropy, building a sizable endowment to make grants to local nonprofits, strengthening the nonprofit sector, and promoting civic engagement and leadership to drive positive social change. The organization, described as small to mid-sized, serves Kitsap County and operates within the broader philanthropic landscape of the region; a notable development in recent years was the appointment of Tina O’Brien as its leader in September 2022.
