The Asset Building Coalition of Kitsap helps Kitsap County residents achieve financial security. We partner with other local organizations with a shared mission to provide financial education and resources that financially strengthen members of the community.
The Coalition is modeled after Prosperity Now‘s, Household Financial Security Framework adapted and summarized as shown below. We aim to help Kitsap County residents improve money management, increase earning potential through education, to be able to save more, grow assets, and then preserve those assets.
The Coalition is a collaborative partnership among businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and other organizations from various backgrounds with a shared mission to improve the finances of individuals and families in Kitsap County. Members of the Coalition contribute to the mission in a variety of ways by leading financial education workshops, sharing resources, and helping to connect members of the community with programs and services that lead to financial security.
Our Upcoming Events
The Kitsap Asset Building Coalition is so grateful to have been awarded a Community Reinvestment Project grant from the Washington State Department of Commerce. In collaboration with our coalition partners, we have been able to provide direct funding to benefit historically marginalized members of the county with homeownership down payment assistance, business boost grants to help launch and grow small businesses and provide higher education scholarships to local students. The Community Reinvestment Project focuses on repairing wealth disparities in communities disproportionately harmed by the war on drugs.
