At Kitsap Community Foundation, we are honored to work with individuals and families across generations to achieve meaningful charitable goals.

With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, charitable planning has entered a new era. Key changes include a floor and cap on itemized deductions beginning in 2026, as well as an elevated standard deduction in 2025.
