As the final quarter of 2025 begins, nonprofits are entering one of the most important giving seasons in recent years. Upcoming tax law changes create a time-sensitive opportunity for donors to maximize their philanthropic impact—whether through appreciated stock, Qualified Charitable Distributions, or increased giving before 2026. Kitsap Community Foundation is here to support your efforts and partner with you in inspiring generosity across our community.

Research confirms that generosity benefits both the giver and the receiver, reinforcing its role as a cornerstone of human connection. At Kitsap Community Foundation, we are privileged to support donors whose philanthropy reflects their enduring care for others.

In today’s changing economy and tax landscape, thoughtful planning is essential for effective charitable giving.
