Island nonprofits organizations can earn funds for park stewardship through Nonprofits Helping Parks, sponsored by the Bainbridge Island Parks Foundation and Bainbridge Metro Parks.
Nonprofits Helping Parks was started in 2020 to bring more stewardship to local parks while offering incentives and benefits for nonprofit organizations. It works like this: Your club, youth group or nonprofit organization commits to a work party in a public park or along a trail – pulling invasive weeds, for example, or putting in native plants or spreading gravel on trails – and the Parks Foundation will make a donation to your organization to thank you for your time and effort.
A great team-building opportunity and impactful in the community, these work parties bring islanders of all ages together to improve the health and beauty of Bainbridge Island parks and trails.
Past participating groups include Bainbridge Island Swim Club and Bainbridge Ultimate Frisbee, with work parties benefiting Sakai Park and Moritani Preserve.
