Ignite Kirkland Community Giving Campaign: A Crowdsourcing Effort to Support Local Nonprofits

The Kirkland Parks & Community Foundation (KPCF) proudly presents the Ignite Kirkland Community Giving Campaign, a crowd sourcing initiative to support 27 local nonprofits and their impactful projects. Running now through Giving Tuesday, this campaign invites everyone to come together and make a real difference by funding projects that strengthen youth programs, public art, wellness initiatives, and parks across Kirkland. With over $130,000 in needs identified, we’re calling on the community to help us spread the word and ignite support for these local causes.

Sponsored by Amazon, the campaign allows donors to choose specific projects to support or contribute to a general fund that ensures all initiatives receive needed resources. Nonprofits featured in this year’s campaign include Toys for Kids, Friends of Youth, Kirkland Arts Center, Pride Across the Bridge, Stronger Families, and more. This is an opportunity to not only give but also to actively rally your network to help build a stronger, more connected Kirkland.

Join the movement and make giving a part of your holiday tradition. For more information, to donate, or to share the campaign with your network, visit [www.kpcf.org/give]. Together, we can Ignite Kirkland!
