For the sixth consecutive year, the Kitsap Public Facilities District (KPFD) will make funds available through the KPFD EventFund to support Kitsap County-based organizations that want to host and market local and regional sports tournaments and special events at KPFD qualified venues.

The KPFD accepts applications and makes fund awards from the
KPFD EventFund two-times per year, in January and in June.

Awards range from $500 to $5,000. Fund award decisions are competitive. Following is the 2012 KPFD EventFund Award schedule.

The purpose of the KPFD EventFund is twofold:

1) To stimulate economic activity by supporting events that attract out-of-county participants, families and tournament enthusiasts to Kitsap County.

2) To provide family-centered entertainment and healthy recreational opportunities for Kitsap County residents.

To receive funding, events requesting funding must be held at one of the three public facilities developed with KPFD-managed funds and contain the outline of the efforts to market the event. Those facilities are:

• the Kitsap Conference Center at Bremerton Harborside
• Kitsap Fairgrounds & Events Center and
• facilities within the North Kitsap Regional Event Center boundaries in Poulsbo.
