Kitsap Great Give is TODAY!


 
Today's the day to give!

The North Kitsap Schools Foundation is participating in the Kitsap Great Give, a 24-hour online fund-raising event presented by the Kitsap Community Foundation and the United Way of Kitsap County.

One of the things that makes this community-wide day of giving so exciting is that donations to NKSF and other participating nonprofits will be matched by more than $100,000 from Great Give sponsors.

Here's what you can do to help: Go to http://kitsapgreatgive.org/#npo/north-kitsap-schools-foundation between midnight and 11:59 p.m. and make a tax-deductible donation to NK Schools Foundation. Tell your friends, colleagues and family about this opportunity to be part of the biggest day of philanthropy in Kitsap County history.

All donations, plus our share of the matching funds, support NK students and help bridge the gap between state funding and local needs. Since 2012, the foundation has given $70,000 to local schools to provide direct support to students who are underperforming in math, reading and science; fund STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs, and restore services affected by budget cuts.

Thank you for your support!
