Community Grants are awarded to capital improvement projects that enhance our parks, trails and recreational opportunities. Individuals or clubs that are not nonprofit organizations but want to apply must partner with Bainbridge Metro Parks or City of Bainbridge Island on their project.
Community Grants have funded dozens of user-inspired projects, from the Eagledale Pottery Studio kiln to sculling oars for Bainbridge Island Rowing, from youth gymnastics vault apparatus to water polo goals to ADA trail improvements to sand volleyball courts, to many more.
Contact the Parks & Trails Foundation for assistance in presenting your project idea. Email Heidi Urish, heidi@biparksfoundation.org for information on the Community Grants program.
