"When I donate to the Bainbridge Island Downtown Association, how is my money used?"

​

When you donate to BIDA, your funds are used to help fulfill The Main Street Four-Point Approach, which is a community-driven framework used to revitalize and sustain historic downtowns. 

​

What you may notice most often is our downtown beautification efforts, such as the flower baskets. But we also focus on creating community events that make downtown Bainbridge a fun, festive, unique and enjoyable part of life on the island.

​

Additionally, we help businesses thrive, keep storefronts occupied, and partner with the City of Bainbridge on infrastructure, way-finding, and more. 

​

In short, we help the downtown economic and cultural gathering place of Bainbridge Island stay a special place for both visitors and residents to enjoy.
