2019 BCF Annual Repor t Welcome!This annual report highlights the work of Bainbridge Community Foundation in 2019, even though our community, state,

nation and world face an epic health crisis as we are writing this. Our hope is that when you read this account of BCF’s

work, the global pandemic will abate soon. We will all have our work cut out for us to address the immense challenges

that follow. Helping the local nonprofit community recover from the COVID-19 pandemic will be our priority for some time

to come. Our nonprofits are indispensable for providing basic human services and advancing the quality of life on this

island, and they have suffered varying degrees of economic hardship with the pandemic and shelter-in-place order. We are

drawing strength from the important partnerships that flourished in 2019 to support nonprofits through this time of crisis,

and will continue to help them regain momentum once it is over.

In this report, you will see that 2019 was a banner year for Islanders to support its nonprofit sector. The assets of the

Bainbridge Community Foundation grew to over $16 million, the highest point in the history of our young organization.

Islanders started 11 new donor advised funds, also the highest single year in our history. These considerable charitable

assets provide a base from which we can move forward.

Likewise it was a record setting year for our grant programs. BCF’s Community Grant Cycle awarded 51 grants totaling

$321,823 to nonprofits serving Bainbridge Islanders in arts and culture, animal welfare, education, environment, health

and human services, and recreation. BCF’s annual Capacity Building Grant program also awarded $16,350 to

14 organizations.

In 2019, BCF played a key role in two other initiatives that demonstrated how our community will come together to meet

challenges that have now emerged. We provided the fundraising backbone for Housing Resources Bainbridge to speedily

raise the necessary resources to save the affordable housing at 550 Madison. We created a new partnership between

Bainbridge Youth Services, Helpline House, Bainbridge Schools Foundation and BCF to eliminate financial barriers for

students. This "YES" (Youth Experience Support) Fund guarantees that no student will be left out of a school activity

because of inability to cover costs.

In both cases, we identified unique challenges the Island has faced, and moved quickly to address them.

As we wrapped up the year, we celebrated the retirement of Lynn Agnew and David Moen. In early 2020, we welcomed

Brooke Rufo-Hill and Hart Williams to the board.

With monumental work ahead of us all, we are proud of our resolve and our ability to do just that in the year ahead.

State of the SectorUNDERSTANDING OUR ISLAND

Bainbridge Island is undeniably beautiful, surrounded by

clear water and distant snow-capped mountains. But many

Bainbridge Island residents move to the island for more

than a pretty view and quiet neighborhood—many report

they came to the island for its quality of life and its sense of

community. According to the 2017 National Citizen Survey,

97% of Bainbridge Island residents who participated in the

survey rated the city as an excellent or good place to live, and

93% rated it highly as a place to raise children. The most highly

rated categories were the island’s quality education and its

community engagement.

Bainbridge Island residents are able to maintain a high

quality of life primarily because of its vibrant nonprofit sector.

Nonprofits that focus on health and human services, education,

animal welfare, arts and recreation, and the environment

strengthen our sense of community by providing critical

services and representing the voices of the people they serve.

STATE OF THE SECTOR

EDUCATION

Education

nonprofits seek

TO HELP YOUNG

PEOPLE CREATE

HEALTHY, WELL-

BALANCED LIVES and

to increase the connection of

young people to the community at large. Outside

of the public school environment, FINANCIAL

AFFORDABILITY IS THE PRIMARY BARRIER TO

ACCESSING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. For the

third year in a row, fewer organizations reported

experiencing an increase

in demand for services.

Seventy-five percent of

respondents were unable to

meet demand for services.

ARTS, CULTURE & PUBLIC BENEFITThe arts, culture and public benefit nonprofits serving

Bainbridge Island seek to INCREASE COLLABORATION AND

THE PROFESSIONALIZATION OF ITS VOLUNTEER BASE

in an effort to cement the Island’s identity as a cultural

hub. Demand was up for most services, and LOW-INCOME

INDIVIDUALS AND YOUTH FIND IT HARDEST TO ACCESS

PROGRAMS. Twenty-three percent of respondents could not

meet demand in 2018, down from 40% in 2016, and most

commonly nonprofits described they faced physical space

constraints. Having enough volunteers is also a key issue

that threatens organizations’

ability to meet

demands.

MOST COMMON ISSUE?

SPACE CONSTRAINTS

Environment, animal welfare and recreation nonprofits

had the top priorities of WORKING TOGETHER

TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND DEVELOP NEW

PARTNERSHIPS. Fundraising was recognized as one

of the biggest challenges among 89% of respondents.

All reported an increase in demand for services, and

75% were able to meet demand in 2018. GOALS FOR

EXPANSION INCLUDE INCREASING THE NUMBER

OF VOLUNTEERS.

HEALTH, HOUSING & HUMAN

SERVICES

Health, housing

and human

service nonprofits

have the primary

goal of IMPROVING

COMMUNICATION AND

COLLABORATION AMONG

THE SECTOR, and working together to combat

the affordability issues among clients. YOUTH

WERE RECOGNIZED AS THE MOST DIFFICULT

DEMOGRAPHIC TO REACH FOR SERVICES, and

transportation is one of the most significant barriers

to those seeking help. Eighty-five

percent of respondents indicated

a slight increase in demand for

services, while 67% were able to

meet demand.

Each spring, Bainbridge Community

Foundation gathers together local

nonprofit leaders to ask them how we

can support their work. As the needs

in our community change, so do our

priorities—and we use this information

to guide the development of our

programs and annual grants.1

1 This survey took place in 2019, and therefore provides data

prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2019 NONPROFIT TRENDS

The impact of a changing

Seattle—higher cost of living,

affordability issues, changing

demographic—are all having

a correlative impact on

Bainbridge Island

Lack of affordability is a big

challenge for nonprofits, from

attracting and retaining staff, to

assisting clients, to expansion of

capital goals, the resources of

the organizations do not go as

far as they once did.

Across all sectors, volunteers are

paramount, but the demand for

more professional skills among

these volunteers is very high.

Integrating social justice

(diversity, equity, and inclusion)

is stated across all sectors.

Grantmaking OverviewWe are thrilled to report that 2019 was a fantastic year for Bainbridge

Community Foundation grantmaking! A record 391 grants of all types

were awarded, totaling $1,395,319. All grants are awarded to 501(c)(3)

nonprofit organizations, schools, or government entities as guided

by the IRS.

This figure includes 309 Donor Advised Fund (DAF) grants totaling

$839,987. DAF grants make up the majority of the Foundation’s

grantmaking. Our fund advisors concentrate the majority of their giving

to support local Pacific Northwest nonprofits. Many also give to a variety

of national nonprofits as well.

Through our annual competitive grant cycle, the 2019 Community Grant

Cycle awarded 51 grants for a record-breaking $321,813. The grants were

awarded to nonprofits serving Bainbridge Islanders in arts and culture,

animal welfare, education, environment, health and human services,

and recreation. Our average grant size grew to $6,310, an increase of

more than $1,600 in two years. In total, the Community Grants Cycle has

awarded $2.43 million in local grants since its launch in 2005.

The annual Capacity Building Grants Cycle supports organizations that are

actively striving to improve the efficiency and efficacy of their work by

investing in core operations. In 2019, the Foundation awarded a record

$16,350 in grants ranging from $500 to $1,500 to fourteen local nonprofit

organizations. It was the most recipients awarded and the largest amount

granted in the history of the program.

We were also pleased to award college scholarships, improving the lives

of promising young members of our community. In 2019, we awarded 9

scholarships, totaling $20,500. To date, we have distributed $211,000 in

scholarship funding.

The Foundation also awarded over $300,000 to

Housing Resources Bainbridge for affordable

housing efforts of the “Save 550 Madison”

campaign to help ensure a diverse and

thriving community.

Together, that brings BCF's cumulative

grantmaking to more than $14.5 million

since inception.

Thank you for investing in our shared

community through your kindness, dollars,

guidance, and commitment to the Foundation

and our nonprofits.

continued...

Funding from BCF helped us save the lives of more animals and

supported specific needs in our community. Our Low-Cost

Spay/Neuter Program provides an essential service to thousands of

households each year. Without it, these pets would likely remain

unaltered and contribute to pet overpopulation. Our Foster Care

Program is a critical life-saving program; it additionally provides

meaningful and rewarding volunteer opportunities to hundreds

of people every year.”

KITSAP HUMANE SOCIETY | AMOUNT FUNDED: $9,500

The Kitsap Humane Society’s mission is to provide positive life changing

solutions to people and animals in need. BCF supported their affordable spay and

neuter program for low-income households as well as the foster care program. The

grant helped support a record 5,753 surgeries of which 2,366 were provided at a low

cost, and also helped place 1,225 of the most vulnerable pets in the foster program.

Additionally, 2,298 pets were removed from overcrowded shelters and placed in homes in

Washington State and other parts of the country.

Successful students have confidence, a belief that hard work

pays off, and hope about the future. Students with these

attributes are more likely to become teens and young adults who have

a positive (rather than negative) impact on the community. What's

more, these academic support programs bring equity to our schools,

giving every student an equal chance to thrive. The funding that BSF

provides to support struggling students DOUBLES the amount our

school district would otherwise be able to provide.”

BAINBRIDGE SCHOOLS FOUNDATION | AMOUNT FUNDED: $5,865

Bainbridge Schools Foundation aims to raise funds, leverage resources, and act

as a catalyst to involve the community in public education. Bainbridge Community

Foundation’s grant provided academic support to all grade levels for struggling students

in the Bainbridge Island School District. The grant enabled BSF to add more hours for the

Reading Specialists at the elementary school level, as well as provided staff after-school

tutoring programs for middle and high schools.

The other way that this grant benefited our Island is by highlighting

and supporting the local farming community. This was a wonderful

program that had benefits far surpassing the increased nutritious offerings.”

HELPLINE HOUSE | AMOUNT FUNDED: $10,250

Helpline House on Bainbridge Island provides critical social services to those in need. With

the grant from BCF, they not only purchased fresh vegetables for their food bank, but also

built new partnerships with the local agriculture community as well as strengthened existing

relationships. Through these networks, Helpline provided plenty of fresh produce to their

recipients even through the dark winter months.

COMMUNITY GRANTS CYCLE PARTNERS CAPACITY BUILDING GRANTS

During 2019, BCF awarded a record dollar amount and number of Capacity Building Grants totaling $16,350 to 14 area nonprofits

(including grants to four new applicants), helping each organization strengthen and improve internal operations. Awards ranged

between $500 and $1,500.

BCF’s Capacity Building Grants cycle focuses on building an organization’s internal capacity around such things as administration, gover-

nance, planning, and fundraising, in order to help strengthen that nonprofit. During seven years of grantmaking through this program,

BCF has awarded over $62,400 to 29 different organizations.

Our thanks to the following 2019 Capacity Building Grants Cycle funding partners for helping make this year so successful: 1066 Fund,

Steven & Harriet Davis Fund, Hilderman Family Fund, Hillside Fund, Jicana Fund, Bob & Judy Karr Family Fund, Laugh, Cry, Dream, Read

SCHOLARSHIPS INSPIRING PEOPLE

Inspir ing People of 2019Bainbridge Community Foundation recognized three honorees at its 11th annual Inspiring People Philanthropy Celebration.

Glenn & Nancy Haber, Homestreet Bank and Margaret Coulter were recognized for their significant acts of philanthropy,

leadership and community-building.

GLENN & NANCY HABER2019 OUTSTANDING BAINBRIDGE PHILANTHROPISTS

Over the course of their thirty-two years on Bainbridge, Glenn and Nancy have built a community of creative

friends who share their love of Bainbridge’s natural surroundings. For years, the Haber family included

their children in supporting as many as 70 Island organizations through the Fletcher Bay Foundation. These

included Bainbridge Performing Arts, Bainbridge Historical Museum, and Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.

Their decision five years ago to sunset the Foundation gave them the opportunity to focus on key projects

that will have a lasting impact on Bainbridge Island. These include the creation of the Moritani Preserve

in Winslow, the Community Programs Endowment at IslandWood, and a significant challenge grant to the

Bainbridge Island Land Trust’s Stand for the Land Campaign. These projects encourage a collaborative effort

to accomplish the goals of the programs they have supported for so many years.

Homestreet Bank opened on Bainbridge Island in 2014. From the

beginning, the bank invested a thoughtful plan of community

engagement. In addition to being a sponsor of many Island

organizations, including the Bloedel Reserve, Bainbridge Island

Historical Museum, Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, and Bainbridge

Arts and Crafts, the bank and its leadership have a philosophy of

deeply engaging in the work of the organizations it supports. This

includes Housing Resources Bainbridge, where the bank is not only

a financial sponsor, but the Bank Manager, Linda Lincoln, sits on

the Board of Directors. Homestreet is also active in the work of the

Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island and the Bainbridge Island Chamber of

Commerce in supporting community events like the Grand Old Fourth.

MARGARET COULTER, STUDENT, THE ISLAND SCHOOL2019 OUTSTANDING YOUNG PHILANTHROPIST

Curious about protecting land from development, Margaret and her mother met Bainbridge Island Land

Trust staff to learn more about the organization’s work. After meeting with the head of school and her

teacher, Margaret organized a read-a-thon and math-a-thon for the second through fifth-graders at school.

The students began by collecting pledges from family and friends. In February, they got to work reading

and solving math problems to cash in on those pledges. When complete, Margaret proudly presented a

hand-drawn check for $3,502 for the Stand for the Land Campaign, which will be used to save even more

forests, streams, shorelines, and wetlands.

I established the Warren W.

Bell Family Fund at Bainbridge

Community Foundation because it

was important to both of us that we

give back to our communities. Warren

was always very interested in this

community and cared a lot about so

many nonprofits here. By establishing

a Donor Advised Fund in his name, it is

a way he can continue to be involved.”

—Carol Bell, Donor Advised Fund

"


In 2019, we developed a partnership among Bainbridge Community Foundation, the

Bainbridge Schools Foundation, Bainbridge Youth Services, and Helpline House called

the Youth Experience Support (YES) Fund to help support students manage stress.

When a student is identified as needing additional help, a quick and confidential

application process through the YES Fund gives him or her access to funds

or services that he or she needs. Positive educational, recreational, and

extracurricular activities can make all the difference in the lives of young

people—and sometimes relieving even a minor financial barrier can open

the door to participation in meaningful activities. Any family experiencing

a temporary crisis will also have access to Helpline’s suite of services as

well. The need for the YES Fund was identified at a gathering of community

volunteers, many of them active parents, school administrators, and

nonprofit professionals who had first-hand knowledge of the need to provide

a fast and easy help to young people. Bainbridge Community Foundation is

currently piloting two years of funding for the YES Fund, thanks to the generosity

of Stephen & Karen Hall, Kelly Webster, and other donors who have committed

funds to the pilot. We hope this pilot will lead to Bainbridge Island always saying “yes”

to kids when they need help.

The Bainbridge Schools Foundation is thrilled to partner with BCF to support our students with the YES

Fund in our Bainbridge Island public schools. This fund provides financial support for our older students

in a discreet and meaningful way. The YES Fund can help with the burden of fees for sports, classes and student

activities as kids navigate their high school years. More than 120 kids are benefiting from BCF's generous donors

who are investing in the YES Fund this academic year. Looking forward, we know that there will continue to be

unmet needs that the YES Fund can fulfill in the future for hundreds of middle and high school students."

-Allyson Brown, former BSF Executive Director

YES Fund Spotl ight

We love Bainbridge Island! When we are no longer here,

we want to help the organizations that are devoted to

keeping our island the special place it is. We have chosen the

Bainbridge Community Foundation to manage our legacy gifts as

they are the only organization that is devoted to supporting all

the nonprofits and the needs of our community.”

—Paul & Zan Merriman, Red Cedar Council

GIFTS IN YOUR WILL OR TRUST

The Red Cedar Council is a special group of thoughtful and

visionary donors who partner with BCF in helping ensure a

healthy and sustainable future for the Bainbridge community.

Their permanent funds, bequests, life income gifts, lead trusts,

and other planned gifts provide a valuable pipeline of future

support for generations.

We encourage you to become a member of the Red Cedar Council

by creating a permanent fund or by including a gift to BCF in

your will or estate plan. In recognition of your partnership and

generosity, you will enjoy the following benefits:

• A relationship with the Foundation and other donors during

your lifetime.

• Satisfaction in knowing your legacy will make a difference in

your community for years to come.

• Recognition in newsletters and annual reports, unless

anonymity is desired.

• Invitation to the annual Red Cedar luncheon, the Philanthropy

Celebration and other special donor events.

Including a gift to Bainbridge Community Fund (BCF) in your will

or trust is a permanent statement of your values and enables you

to create a meaningful legacy without impacting your current

financial security. A charitable bequest is also your way of helping

ensure that the causes you care about or volunteer for during

your life will be supported and sustained even when you are gone.

Your gift to BCF also entitles your estate to a charitable estate

tax deduction.

In 2019, the Red Cedar Council grew to include 32 households

many of whom joined for the 2nd annual Red Cedar Council BCF

luncheon at Heyday Farm.

Investment Corner

BAINBRIDGE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Bainbridge Community Foundation (BCF) counts the stewardship of its financial resources among its top priorities. We

expect to operate in perpetuity and our funds, as appropriate, must be invested for the long term. As such, BCF invests

the majority of its resources in socially-responsible or "social impact" investment vehicles. Our foundation recognizes

the importance of following coordinated policies and practices regarding spending and investments that will protect the

principal of these assets and produce reasonable total returns.

BCF’s investment committee is comprised of trustees with investment knowledge and expertise who work to grow the

foundations assets, protect the capital, and maximize income from these assets commensurate with safety of principal.

Today, our assets exceed $16 million and we have granted out more than $14 million since 2001.

ASSET MANAGEMENTIn the spring of 2018, Bainbridge Community Foundation began working with Tiedemann Advisors investment advisors.

Tiedemann Advisors strong roots in the Pacific Northwest, initially operating as Threshold Group, the Russell Family

Office, of Russell Investments, based in Gig Harbor and Seattle since 1998. Threshold Group merged with Tiedemann

Advisors at the end of 2017, as they are now able to call upon the breadth of resources of a $20 billion, 130-person

national team to better serve BCF.

Bainbridge Community Foundation has two investment pools: a Growth Pool (60/40) which is largely comprised of

endowed and quasi-endowed assets, and a Balanced Pool (50/50) which is comprised predominantly of non-endowed

Donor Advised and other funds.
