The City of Bainbridge Island is seeking proposals to provide funding for local nonprofit organizations to support human services programs in the community during the 2023-2024 funding cycle. A total of $660,000 will be available for distribution through the two-year funding cycle to support selected projects.
City funds support a range of services related to housing, health, youth programs, elder care, and other human needs. A list of previous awards can be found on the city website.
Members of the Human Services Funding Advisory Task Force (HSFATF), made up of seven citizens and two Councilmember liaisons, review the funding proposals and develop a recommendation that is submitted to the City Council for consideration and approval.
