President and Chief Executive Officer

Located on Puget Sound in Silverdale, WA, the Foundation provides a means for a wide range of donors to support the full spectrum of nonprofit organizations that serve people in Kitsap and North Mason counties. The Foundation works with families, individuals, attorneys, and financial planners to design philanthropic plans that support the donors’ personal situations and help ensure their gifts are used to the fullest community benefit during their lifetimes and beyond. The Foundation’s Ambassadors (a volunteer group of key community leaders) stand ready to share their experiences with the Foundation with prospective donors. The Foundation currently has approximately $12 million under its management for donors.

Beyond its services to donors are its programs and collaborations that actively support area nonprofits. Notable among them are the Kitsap Great Give, Kitsap Strong, Kitsap Center for Nonprofit Excellence, the Racial Equity and Empowerment Fund, and the Women’s Giving Circle.  All of these activities are aimed at increasing services that will reach further into marginalized communities and increase the inclusiveness of nonprofit services across the spectrum of needs.
