Kitsap Great Give Prizes

Prizes That Keep Things Fun (and Fair!)

Thanks to our generous Community Partner Sponsors, the Kitsap Great Give “prize pool” is designed to spark excitement, encourage participation, and create meaningful opportunities for nonprofits of all sizes. This year, we refreshed and expanded our prize lineup to offer more varied and creative ways to win—whether your focus is preparation, creativity, donor engagement, momentum during the day, or a little bit of luck.

We continue to encourage early nonprofit registration, strong preparation, and active participation on Kitsap Great Give day, and this year’s prize structure is intentionally designed to create more equitable opportunities across participating organizations. New this year, each nonprofit may win one prize total, helping spread prize support to more nonprofits throughout our community.

Some prize categories are awarded in large and small nonprofit divisions, while others are open to all participating organizations. Prizes may recognize total dollars raised, unique donors, participation benchmarks, timing, creativity, or milestone moments throughout the day.

Incentive prizes are made possible by Community Partner Sponsors and may be adjusted based on total support. As additional sponsorships come together, bonus prizes may be added—so check back often for updates. If you are or know a business that would love to support local nonprofits and see their logo included in a mailer reaching 130,000 households, we’d love to hear from you. Call Tina O’Brien at (360) 698-3622.

All prizes are calculated using online donations made through KitsapGreatGive.org. For prizes based on unique donors, “unique” is defined by email address. For the most up-to-date prize details, eligibility, and timing, please review the individual prize descriptions below.
