Challenge met! Thank you!
In early 2026, Bainbridge Island survivors of the exclusion and their Legacy Families committed more than $357,000 to a matching challenge fund—an extraordinary expression of support that inspired our community to rally around the final phase of the Visitor Center Capital Campaign. By early July, the challenge had been met and exceeded!
We are deeply grateful to our Legacy Families and to everyone who answered their call. Together, you have helped bring the Exclusion Memorial Visitor Center to its long-awaited opening.
Your support is still needed. As we prepare to welcome visitors, gifts of every size will help us complete the Visitor Center, bring its exhibits and educational experiences to life, and sustain the Memorial’s mission for generations to come.
