The Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation’s 2024 Community Grants program is now open, with applications due by 5 p.m. Oct. 1.

Grants of up to $3,000 are available for qualifying park and trail projects. 

Community Grants are awarded to capital improvement projects that enhance our parks, trails and recreational opportunities. Since 1998, the Parks & Trails Foundation has awarded Community Grants totaling more than $894,000 supporting youth and adult park and recreation programs and facilities on Bainbridge Island. 

Individuals or clubs that are not nonprofit organizations but want to apply must partner with Bainbridge Metro Parks on their project.
