October is full of opportunities to engage clients in meaningful giving conversations. From DAF Day to National Estate Planning Week, Kitsap Community Foundation is here to support you and your clients with local expertise, personalized strategies, and tools to build lasting impact.

In today’s changing economy and tax landscape, thoughtful planning is essential for effective charitable giving. Whether you’re addressing year-end strategies, considering a complex asset gift, or updating your estate plan, Kitsap Community Foundation offers flexible tools and trusted guidance to help you achieve both financial and philanthropic goals.

At Kitsap Community Foundation, we are honored to work with individuals and families across generations to achieve meaningful charitable goals. Younger donors are bringing new energy to philanthropy, often focusing on causes rather than specific organizations and pairing giving with civic engagement. Our team is here to support families in building charitable plans that reflect these evolving priorities while strengthening community impact.

In 2026, new rules will limit deductions to corporate gifts above 1% of taxable income, with the 10% cap still in place. Reviewing strategies now can help businesses continue meeting philanthropic goals while adapting to these changes.

Nonprofits in our community are currently facing mounting pressures as inflation drives up operating costs, pandemic-era relief funds have expired, and demand for services continues to climb.
