Reminder! Kitsap PFD Grants Still Available!

From our good friends at the Kitsap Public Facilities District:

The Kitsap Public Facilities District (KPFD) announces the establishment of the KPFD EventFund to support Kitsap County-based organizations interested in producing or hosting local and regional sports tournaments and special events.

The KPFD EventFund will make awards ranging from $1000 to $5000. The purpose of KPFD EventFund is to twofold: 1) to stimulate economic activity by supporting business that work to attract out-of-county participants, families and tournament enthusiasts to Kitsap County; and, 2) to provide family-centered entertainment and healthy recreational opportunities for Kitsap County residents.

“One of KPFD’s guiding principles is to work through partnerships that promote economic development in Kitsap County. The KPFD EventFund is another example of how the KPFD is using taxpayer dollars efficiently and effectively to benefit directly the families, businesses and communities served by the KPFD,” stated Walter S. Draper IV, Chair, KPFD. To receive funding, events must be held at one of the three public facilities developed with KPFD-managed funds including the Kitsap Conference Center at Bremerton Harborside, Kitsap Fairgrounds & Events Center, or facilities within North Kitsap Regional Event Center, currently under development in Poulsbo.Application deadlines are January 9, 2007 and May 22, 2007. Funding decisions are competitive and will be announced January 25, 2007 and June 28, 2007. Information and 2007 Application & Allocation Guidelines are available on-line at www.kitsap-pfd.org or by contacting KPFD Administrator Anne Blair at (360)337-5356 or ablair@kitsap-pfd.org.

The PFD is providing a nearly-unheard-of opportunity for Kitsap, particularly all our user groups.

Thank you from the Kitsap Sports Council!
