Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network has been building and nurturing a creative community connected
through craft, learning, and service since 2014, when we opened a small, temporary space in Rolling Bay.
BARN moved into its 25,000-square-foot center in 2017. This well-equipped facility, which has grown intobeing one of the Pacific Northwest's most comprehensive creative learning centers, features 11 craft studiosand offers classes, events, and community service projects for BARN members and the public.
The classes, designed for all skill levels, are almost always open to people 14 and older. BARN also offersyouth-focused classes and free, monthly Teen Nights. In addition, members and guests take advantage ofopen studio hours to work on personal projects; many participants love the informal sharing and learningthese sessions provide. And each year BARN volunteers undertake numerous community service projects
requested by other local non-profit organizations to help them perform their work better.
BARN grew out of an effort that began in 2008 to create a community woodworking shop. The mission
expanded in 2012 to support a wide array of crafts.
IIa. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, And Accessibility*
IIb. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, And Accessibility*
Does the work of your organization contribute to a more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible Bainbridge Island?Is so, please describe. (Limit 1,500 Characters)
The first goal of BARN’s 2024-2026 strategic plan is to "provide creative opportunities for everyone."
We offer tuition assistance and membership grants, as well as discounted membership fees to members ofregistered Native American tribes, students, teachers and active members of the military.
BARN has put considerable effort into making programs accessible to people with mobility, vision, sensory orother issues. Every class listing provides a link to request accommodations. We offer trained companions for
people who could not otherwise participate fully in our programs. For our cooking classes, we ask about and
try to accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies.
We continually address barriers that might keep people from participating, ranging from the time we scheduleactivities to accessibility in our facility to the financial cost of participating.
The Diversity and Belonging section of BARN’s website invites suggestions and participation in making our
community more welcoming and responsive. It also gives people a way to raise issues they have personally
experienced.
Have members of your organization (staff, leadership, board, etc.) worked towards greater understanding of diversity,
equity, inclusion, and accessibility issues? This may include trainings, conversations, workplans, actions taken, or other
strategies you have employed to address sociocultural barriers to equity within your organization and its programs andservices. If so, please describe. (Limit 1,500 Characters)
BARN'S strategic plan emphasizes the importance of making our center welcoming to all. Besides the firstgoal, providing creative opportunities for everyone, Goal 2 calls for BARN to be a gathering place for people tobuild relationships through creative work, with social activities and not just classes. Goal 3 is to support
community service activities throughout the region, in part by cultivating relationships that also support
BARN's diversity goals.
BARN has an Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) committee of staff and volunteers thatmeets monthly to discuss efforts to improve access to BARN and offer recommendations to the Executive
Director.
Ensuring financial accessibility is one of BARN’s key considerations, since disposable income is closely tied toother historic barriers to accessing the arts. BARN has a dedicated budget for financial assistance. Requestsfor help have grown exponentially, but we have not limited the total assistance we offer. Instead, we fund-raise
to fill the gap. In 2021, we awarded 69 tuition assistance grants totaling $8,572. By 2024, that had grown to231 grants totaling $42,582, a five-fold increase.
BARN's building was designed to be accessible. We commissioned an accessibility audit in 2023 and are
making recommended changes, such as touch-enabled signage throughout the building.
III. Scope of Work*
Please provide a scope of work to the services you plan to provide for your project or general operating, whichever youare applying for. A scope of work lists the activities, deliverables, outcomes, and goals to be accomplished under anagreement.
Activities: This is the work that will be accomplished with the requested budget. It should include the who, what, when,
where, and how the recipient implements the work.
Deliverables are the items produced under the agreement. These are tangible evidence of the work done and alignedthe activity’s progress with meeting the expected outcomes. This can include reports, workshops, outreach materials,
evaluations, and other relevant products.
Outcomes are the measurable results of your work. Outcomes can be estimated based on the planned activities and
schedule and should be measured and reported on throughout the agreement period. Your application should alsoindicate how you plan to measure these outcomes to track success.
Goals are the big-picture benefits or changes you anticipate as a result of meeting your estimated outcomes.
All applications should include a goal statement that identifies a community need and how the organization works toaddress it. Keep the following in mind:
- Categorize your task work into activities. - Determine the cost for each activity and a plan to track spending. - Align your activities with a schedule that provides sufficient time to complete the planned work.
- Identify key deliverable(s) for each activity and target dates for their completion.- Identify and estimate at least one measurable outcome and how it will be measured. - Relate each activity to a specific goal.
(Limit 6,000 Characters)

Tuition assistance for members and the public. To assist as many people as possible, BARN limits students
to $900 of tuition assistance per calendar year. BARN encourages students to contribute at least 20% of the
total registration fee or the full materials fee, whichever is greater, but encourages applications when that is
still a barrier. As the policy states: “We will work with you!”
A wide range of free programming for members and the public, including writers’ round-table discussions,
woodworking presentations, hosted sketching sessions, a singing group, online slow-stitch meetups,
gatherings for people interested in costuming and cosplay, and special-interest meetups on how to listen to
and record marine mammals.
Outcomes: By quarter, BARN will track:
The number and value of each membership type.

BARN providing supervision and training in leadership and workplace skills.
Beta testing for the Makers and Mentors program in fall 2025 and winter 2026, with full launch in fall 2026.
(Enrollment in youth classes and the financial support BARN provides through its youth membership rate and
tuition assistance for youth classes are included in the Metrics tables.)
Goals: More young people are engaged at BARN through classes, and high school students are active in all
aspects of the studios, including open studio sessions and community service projects. Adults and youth
develop ties and a greater understanding of one another.
Activity 5: Community service. BARN encourages other non-profits to request help for things that can be
created or repaired using the skills of BARN participants. Organizations typically pay for materials, BARN
volunteers do the work, and BARN provides tools and overhead, including utilities and staff time to help
coordinate the projects. Notable projects include building a bench for the Haiku Garden at Bainbridge Public
Library, tables for a housing project in Bremerton that serves homeless teens, and a 15-foot-long footbridge for
Bainbridge Island Land Trust at Springbrook Creek Preserve. BARN’s Metal Fabrication Studio restored a 300-
pound bronze bell at Halls Hill Lookout and Labyrinth in 2024 and is now working to bring it back to full
functionality.
Deliverables: BARN evaluates all requests for help to make sure the projects are feasible and suitable for its
volunteers. (BARN does not do community service projects that compete with local companies or benefit only
individuals.)
Outcomes: BARN is increasing outreach to non-profits on Bainbridge and in greater Kitsap to let them know
how BARN may be able to help.
BARN is developing a new tracking system for community service projects and the number of people who help.

IV. Community Needs that Your Organizations Meets*
Goals: Numerous opportunities to participate in community service projects are available to BARN members
and the public.
What needs in the community are addressed by your organization?
How does your organization meet these needs?
How does the proposed project or program specifically meet these needs? If possible, please cite relevant and up-to-
date City documents, demographic or research sources, etc. For general operating support requests, describe overallhow your organization meets that community need.
Please also explain how the proposal prevents duplicating other services for Bainbridge Island residents.
(Limit 3,000 Characters)
BARN attracts participants from throughout the Puget Sound region and even beyond because of the quality
of our facility and its equipment, the high caliber of our classes, and opportunities to undertake projects thatinvolve multiple crafts. No other place in the West Sound offers the range of classes and studio access that
we have. Other places teach some crafts, but few provide opportunities to continue working on one’s ownonce a class is over, so the follow-through that cements learning is missing and there is less sense ofbelonging to a community of makers.
BARN helps preserve traditional crafts, and it encourages participants to exploring new ways of making
things, for example by using computer-controlled machines to shape wood, metal, plastic and fibers. As a
maker space, BARN helps one generation pass on knowledge to the next, and it encourages the kind ofcreative, can-do thinking that is needed if our country wants to revive its manufacturing traditions or even just
make sure there is a next generation of people who know how to install and repair things.
Our youth programs focus on reaching youth in the years when they feel most awkward and vulnerable, yet
are old enough to use real tools and develop skills that will enrich their lives as adults or even lead to careers.We do not focus on younger ages served by KidiMu. Especially in the years before Bainbridge High School
added metal-working equipment, we supported the robotics club at the high school.
Beyond the craft training, BARN addresses a huge community issue: the need for people of all ages to
engage with others and feel valued and connected. Much recent research, including a decade-long review of
studies published by the National Academies of Sciences and others, found that social isolation is associated
with an increased risk of developing dementia — a big issue on Bainbridge, where a quarter of the populationis 65 or older and where the average age is 50, versus 38 nationwide. It's been interesting to see thatadvertising by Bainbridge Senior Living features a picture of one of its residents working in the BARN
woodworking studio — his way of staying connected to a wider community, For youth and working-age
people, too, being an active part of a community helps ensure a healthy, personally rewarding life.
The Bainbridge Community Foundation’s 2024/2025 Community Report found 10 characteristics of asustainable, supportive community, half of which BARN directly addresses: respect and social interaction,
connection to place, education and learning, connection to culture, economic opportunity, and civicparticipation.
V. City Cultural Funding Goals Alignment*
VI. Imapct*
Please describe how this proposal aligns with:
- Goals in the cultural element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan
- Values related to climate adaptation/mitigation (including sustainable transportation)
- Values related to equity and inclusion
(Limit 1,500 Characters)
BARN supports the Cultural Element’s goals 1.2 (support for arts and humanities), 1.5 (support for culturalspaces), 2.4 and 2.5 (projects that enable artists to live and work in the community), 2.6 (projects that
enhance the island’s national reputation as a center of artistic excellence, which is especially addressed by
BARN’s participation in Handwork 2026), and 4.1 (institutions that nurture creative thought and expression,
which BARN's Writers Studio especially addresses).
BARN supports the Economic Element’s goals 1.1 (embracing diverse and innovative business opportunities;small businesses use BARN facilities to make prototypes, replacement parts, and items to sell), 1.8
(recognizing the arts as a significant component of Bainbridge’s economy), and 1.9 (supporting the creative
and economic contribution of the arts).
BARN supports climate-friendly policies and includes details on its website about how to get to BARN viapublic transportation. BARN has bike racks that are used daily.
BARN has a formal inclusion policy, adopted in 2019 and reviewed in June 2025. It states that inclusivity is
one of BARN’s core values and references BARN’s Code of Conduct, which helps maintain a welcoming
environment where everyone can thrive. BARN's IDEA committee of staff and volunteers meets monthly about
equity and inclusion issues.
How does this proposal improve services on Bainbridge Island? Specifically, how will it:
- Involve significant community participation - Create access to human services activities for underserved or underrepresented groups of people - Strengthen organizational capacity; and/or foster opportunities for collaboration with the human services sector?
(Limit 6,000 Characters)
BARN is seeking this grant largely to help cover the cost of making sure we provide access for underservedand underrepresented groups of people. A grant of $25,000 per year would significantly help BARN subsidizeparticipation through tuition assistance, membership grants, and reduced-rate memberships, plus support
other programs we offer, such as Teen Nights and community service projects, that do not generate revenuebut do add to BARN's overhead costs and are vital to creating the inclusive community we are dedicated tonurturing.
Easing the strain on BARN's operating budget will leave more room for BARN to keep other revenue streams
— especially membership and class fees — steady. BARN has about 1,500 members, who provide thebackbone for running the studios and organizing classes and other events. More than 250 active volunteerscontribute more than 10,000 hours each year to running BARN and building a stronger community through our
community service projects and other programs. In 2024, BARN hosted 2,771 classes and events, with
10,923 total registrations by 2,856 individuals, about half from Bainbridge Island and a quarter from other
areas of Kitsap County. BARN also attracts participants from throughout Puget Sound and even other states.
City support will also help BARN expand its efforts to collaborate with other cultural organizations and follow
through on the community connections being built by the IDEA committee. Its recent work has includedreaching out to Helpline, HRB, Bainbridge Youth Services, Rainbow Crew NW, and Neurodiverse Connections
on Bainbridge Island; the Suquamish Tribe and its 477 Yusawiac Workforce program; Bremerton Housing
Authority; and Peninsula Art League.
One result of this outreach: BARN is hosting an empowerment workshop for native artists that is being offeredby the Suquamish Museum in October 2025. Co-sponsors include Islandwood, Bloedel, BainbridgeCommunity Foundation, Vibe Coworks, Native Acton Network, and the Suquamish Tribe's Higher Education
Program, its Port Madison Enterprises business agency, and its 477 Yusawiac Workforce program.
To foster collaboration, BARN invited staff and leadership of other non-profits on the island to a mixer in March2025 so people could meet each other and share ideas. It was so successful that other non-profits have sincesponsored followup events.

(Limit 1,500 Characters)
BARN has been providing generous financial assistance and robust programming with only modest outside
support, and it intends to continue doing that during and after this funding period. The Board of Directorsincludes experienced professionals like President Erin Thomasson and Treasurer Grace Harris, providingstrategic oversight and fiscal responsibility. Executive Director Grae Drake brings demonstrated leadership in
nonprofit management, guiding BARN through successful expansion, pandemic recovery, and strategicinitiatives like the "All In" campaign to acquire land for future expansion and ongoing planning about how best
to use the land.
BARN exceeded financial goals in 2024, generating $2.4 million in revenue and $348,068 in net income.
BARN depends on both earned income and donations, with revenue in 2024 coming 46% from fundraising,34% from classes/events, and 18% from membership fees. Development Manager Jess Henderson overseesa comprehensive fundraising strategy that increased the donor base by 67% in 2024.

2026 and 2027 budgets with a mix of earned program income and fundraising similar to the last several years.
Additional note: The "scholarships" listed above refers to BARN's tuition assistance, not college scholarships.
If those expenses are not properly described as "scholarships", they would be "other operating expenses."
Please provide a testimonial(s) or narrative(s) that demonstrates the impact of your organization’s work. (Limit 750
Characters)
BARN’s community service projects impact the organizations that request them, the people they serve, and
the volunteers who do the work. When BARN woodworkers built a bench for the Bainbridge Public Library thisyear, four experienced woodworkers teamed up with four newer woodworkers, including Tim Jewell. Hesigned up because he “thought it was a cool opportunity to do something for the community.” What he didn’t
realize is how much he would learn. “It was like a mini-mentorship program. Being part of this project was end-to-end cool.” The bench is also bringing joy to people who use the library. “It’s so comfortable,” said Kip
Bankart, co-chair of the library’s Facilities Committee, “and the design harmonizes perfectly with the garden."
