This Giving Tuesday Support Bainbridge Prepares
November 28 is Giving Tuesday, an international day of giving that brings much-needed attention (and funding) to important causes in the community. This year for Giving Tuesday, you can support Bainbridge Prepares’ Island Resilience Campaign, to make Bainbridge safer and more resilient through growing community-focused programs like our Child Reunification Center, neighborhood-based Disaster Hubs, Emergency Volunteer Flotilla, and more than 20 Disaster Preparedness teams.
Although we appreciate our close strategic partnership with BIFD and COBI, we receive no direct funding from either entity, other than a $12,500 COBI Human Services Grant for both 2023 and 2024.

Listen to long-time volunteer and Map Your Neighborhood Team Leader Ann Cook describe her years living in disaster-impacted areas and why she believes it is so important to support our nonprofit right now.
Your support will help us achieve our objectives for 2024 and beyond:
Fully fund and equip our Child Reunification Center where we will keep children separated from their families during a major disaster safe until they can be reunified.
Complete the build out of our Disaster Hubs, one of which is within walking distance of every resident, so that every Hub is equipped with an emergency radio kit, adequate medical supplies, nonperishable food and water, and other essentials.
Strengthen connections with nonprofit partners like the Bainbridge Island Senior Center and Island Volunteer Caregivers so that vulnerable residents are prepared and resilient during a disaster.
Build critical organizational infrastructure (including paid staff) that will allow us to remain a sustainable nonprofit organization for decades to come.
