Sponsor spotlight
Member-owned | not-for-profit
Member-owned banking, local community support, and a family-friendly Festival FINALE partnership.
BECU is a member-owned, not-for-profit credit union with a Bainbridge Island location, a broader Kitsap Peninsula presence, and community-giving programs that serve Island and Kitsap counties. For AAHF, that local commitment also shows up as the title sponsorship of the Festival FINALE Kid's Zone, alongside business banking services, Financial Health resources, and community programs that help members, families, and organizations move forward. Allison Falk helps make that connection feel local, translating a regional BECU presence into a community relationship people on Bainbridge can recognize.

Why BECU stands out
A member-owned credit union with visible local relevance
BECU pairs everyday banking services with a broader commitment to financial well-being and community presence. That gives visitors more than a product list. It gives them a trusted regional institution with tools, guidance, and real local investment behind the name.
Bainbridge + Kitsap presence
With a Bainbridge Island location, a broader Kitsap Peninsula presence, and community-giving programs that serve Island and Kitsap counties, BECU shows up locally in ways people can actually use. On Bainbridge, that local outreach includes support for Helpline House.
Everyday business support
From business checking to in-person guidance, BECU makes it easy to move from interest to action with products and services designed for everyday business needs.
Community impact beyond accounts
Financial Health support, community programs, and work like the Black Community Development Project reflect a member-first approach that extends beyond routine banking.
Bainbridge example
Helpline House and Allison Falk together make BECU's Bainbridge connection legible.
BECU's community giving includes support for organizations serving Island and Kitsap counties. On Bainbridge specifically, the Bainbridge Island Review reported that BECU donated $10,000 to Helpline House in 2025 and organized a staff volunteer day there for the Bainbridge branch team. Paired with Allison Falk's role as a local connector into this sponsorship, that gives the partnership both visible nonprofit impact and a trusted community relationship. It pairs financial-services access with support for a nonprofit that helps neighbors with food access, housing and utility assistance, counseling, and resource navigation.
Festival FINALE partner
BECU is the title sponsor of the Festival FINALE Kid's Zone.
That support helps create a more welcoming, family-friendly closing celebration with a dedicated place for children and caregivers to connect with the festival. It is a clear example of how BECU's local community support shows up in a public-facing way on Bainbridge.
