MISSION & VISION
Established in 2006, the Greater Gig Harbor Foundation is a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable
community foundation. In our 16 years, we've raised, received and distributed nearly $17-million in assets
to support a range of projects and programs in five core areas to benefit our greater Gig Harbor and Key
Peninsula community.
GGHF is a conduit between the passions of people and needs of our community.
Governed by a Board of Directors, with five Core Area Boards serving Arts & Culture, Education, Parks &
Environment, Recreation and Social Capital, and Advisory Boards providing direction and oversight to
Curious by Nature School and the Gig Harbor Senior Center, the Foundation supports organizations,
agencies, individuals and families with one thing in common – a desire to make a difference today and
leave a legacy tomorrow for our greater peninsula communities.
