What is the Kitsap Great Give?
Unsurpassed impact for the entire community!
The Kitsap Great Give is a 24-hour "give-day" that unites our community to support the many nonprofit organizations that make Kitsap a great place to live - for all of us.
In a single day, more than $1.5 million can be invested in the direct support of our community through donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations to a wide variety of nonprofit organizations. Last year, the event generated $1.47 million from 3,323 donors through 6,844 gifts to support 363 local nonprofit organizations.
Presented by the Kitsap Community Foundation, this annual community movement of generosity has resulted in more than $17 million in community support since 2014.

Registration FAQ
Am I eligible to participate?
Eligible organizations are 501(c)(3) public charities that are in compliance with annual IRS 990 filing requirements. Note that “public charities” do not include private foundations (operating or non-operating).
Eligible organizations must be located in or provide substantial services to Kitsap County and/or immediately surrounding areas (such as Belfair or Gig Harbor). A mailing address in Kitsap County or an immediately-surrounding area will be sufficient evidence that a nonprofit provides “substantial services” in the qualifying geographic area.
For those nonprofit organizations that do not have a mailing address in Kitsap County or an immediately-surrounding area, Kitsap Community Foundation will make a case-by-case determination regarding whether or not the nonprofit provides “substantial services” and qualifies for the Kitsap Great Give. If your nonprofit is not based in Kitsap County, please explain how you qualify to participate in the Kitsap Great Give when registering your nonprofit.
How do I complete my registration?
You'll need the following:
- Your Business License Number for the State of Washington (UBI)
- Ensure that your annual Secretary of State Nonprofit Annual Report is filed and confirm that you are current on your 990 tax filing.
- Your Charitable Registration Number from the WA Secretary of State Charities Division, if applicable (check whether this is required by clicking here; there is also a handy-dandy flow chart to check out here).
- An estimated number of clients served in the Kitsap County/North Mason County/Gig Harbor area in the last 12 months.
- Your Annual Revenue (there are ranges to select from)
- We also have questions if you are a nonprofit with BIPOC leadership and populations served by your organization (there are multiple selections to choose from).
What if I'm fiscally sponsored?
You will need to set up your organization on Mightycause under the EIN of your fiscal sponsor PRIOR to registering, if you are not already active on the platform. To start this process, create a Mightycause user account, look for “Can’t find your organization?” at the bottom of the registration form and click on "Create it now." Mightycause will review your details and follow up with you directly to get your sponsored page set up. Once your organization page has been created on the platform by Mightycause, you can return to this page and submit your registration for the event.
I am a new admin for my organization!
Welcome! If you are a new admin filling out the registration form, by submitting the registration form you are also automatically requesting admin access to the organization page. Mightycause Support reviews all admin requests and will follow up separately with you if additional information is required. You will receive an email notification once your admin request is approved. After you are approved, you will see your organization listed in your dropdown user menu.
Admin approval emails are separate from registration approvals. Please allow 2-3 business days for admin approval.
