Organizational Strength. The first aspect is a strong and functioning organizational structure that is democratic and member based. The organization is legalized and has to have values that promote non-discrimination, inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability. This means that there is a broad membership base, which includes any interested forest or NR user, regardless of gender, economic, social or ethnic background, making sure to avoid elite capture. There is a strong emphasis on women in leadership positions. One way to encourage good governance is through a democratic structure that includes a member-elected board. If board members do not perform well, they will not be re-elected and if staff does not perform well, the board can intervene. The organization has to have transparent administrative and financial procedures.

Organizational Strength. We are confident in the success of this project because Vitalize Kitsap has been serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities on Bainbridge Island for 21 years. We have a long history of providing empowering programming that involves art and cultural activities aimed at improving life and job skills for these individuals. VK has created and performed an original play in the past at the Hyla School theater, and our virtual variety show last year was a success, raising nearly $5,000. Our weekly programs focus on seven core values, which inform our strategic goals: Art & Leisure, Communication, Community. Continued Education, Health & Fitness, Relationships, and Work. Art and Culture are woven into daily lessons and projects that last months and years. Our co-founder and program director has a daughter with a disability, as well as several of our Board members. They help keep our programs relevant to the participants, though all our activities are member driven, e.g., their goals and needs determine the direction our programs take. From offering creative writing classes, to music, art, and drama, to learning about the food and culture of all the countries and continents of the world, we meet our members where they are and ask them where they want to go in life. We have an educated, experienced, and dedicated staff who work with our members to incorporate individual personal goals into group activities. For our organization’s ongoing success and sustainability, Vitalize Kitsap partners with several local, state, and regional community government and nonprofit agencies that provide operational and programmatic support, such as the City of Bainbridge Island (COBI), the Bainbridge Community Foundation, Windermere Real Estate, the Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island, the Xxxxxxxxx Foundation, the Motherhouse Fund, the Kitsap Community Foundation, Bainbridge Island Parks & Recreation, the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance, and Puget Sound Energy. This outpouring of support and these community partnerships confirm the relevancy of our programming.

Organizational Strength. ITA offers tuition-based services, with options for private pay or state funding for those eligible for services from the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA), a division of the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS). ITA has a contract with the State of Washington as a provider of direct services and respite care to support these individuals and their families. For many families, state funds are used to pay family members for their home care of the individual. In these instances, families will use private funds to pay for attendance at ITA functions. ITA maintains a scholarship fund that allows some who need financial assistance to participate; roughly 10% of our annual budget is dedicated to the scholarship fund. A number of our members live in Adult Family Homes and rarely have discretionary funds to participate in our programs and activities. It is our goal at ITA to provide our programs and support to all members of our community who are interested in our club programs, and as such, much fundraising needs to be done to keep our programs affordable and accessible. ITA fundraising also includes applications for grants through local and national foundations and churches, as well as participation in the Kitsap Great Give and One Call For All each year. ITA recycles print cartridges, weaving this activity into other member activities. We sell concessions, popcorn, snacks and goodies at local events and concerts and movies in the park, which also supports our general fund. Funding from COBI would greatly increase our capacity to serve these valuable members of our community and allow us to continue providing life enriching, meaningful programming for people with disabilities. Our leadership team realizes our members’ need for personalized programming, relationships, creative outlets, and work. ITA’s Executive Director has a Masters Degree in Community Health and 20 years experience in program management; she supervises operations, program implementation, and monitoring and impact evaluation. Our Program Director started ITA after working in the Special Ed class at the Xxxxxxxx Middle School; she ensures that programs and jobs services compliment members’ individual interests, talents and skills. Our Board Chair is also the parent of an ITA member and a legal advocate for Kitsap County residents with disabilities. Our Assistant Program Director, who also volunteers for the BI Fire Department, and is a legal guardian of an ITA member, is l...

Organizational Strength. ● Explain why you believe you can complete the proposed project or activities within the funding period and are confident in its success. (May include qualifications, past success, leadership, strong partnerships or supporters, taking advantage of an existing event, etc.). We have held five successful and well-attended Trashion Shows here, and one additional exhibit of accepted artists at BAC during the Covid quarantine period. We have an excellent committee of dedicated organizers with a diverse set of expertise and a variety of successful partners who are willing and excited participants in our goals. Our current sponsors are willing to continue supporting us and we are confident in attracting new sponsors with expanded offerings. The Trashion Show and the ABC Environmental Conference are well-known community events, so community members will be anticipating them once again. Whenever our post-show exhibit is in the window of BAC, they have reported greater interest in their displays and more customers than usual who enter the gallery. ● If you haven’t already done so, please briefly explain how your proposal supports your Our goal is to educate people about reducing waste and, in this case, extending the life and value of textiles. Our activities are designed specifically to fulfill these goals through hands-on experiences and presentations. ● How do you gather input and feedback from your audiences or participants? How do you ensure your work is relevant to the community? In the past, we have gathered impromptu feedback from those who attend. We have also offered quizzes and surveys to evaluate what the audience learned. We email the artists post- show to comment on their experiences, and we incorporate their feedback into future activities. For example, after our show this year, which was outdoors, we polled our artists (many of whom are repeat participants) about the new format. They enjoyed the opportunity to further connect with the audience, but some of them missed the more exciting runway format, which is why we’d like to offer both setups this coming year. Also, going forward, we will be able to evaluate our relevance by the number of participants involved in the additional new programming. ● What steps are you taking to improve the sustainability of the project or activities beyond this period of funding? One of our events will be a fundraiser runway show, which we hope will be popular and help to keep the programming sustainable in the future. ...
