Be inspired.
Seeking a values match, Jake and Ed Clemens found one another, Bainbridge Island, and HRB.
From strangers on a train to husband and wife, fellow activists, and ultimately Bainbridge Island philanthropists, Jake and Ed support the work of organizations, like HRB, which are building a more equitable and inclusive community.

Guided by the mind of an engineer and love for his community, Mike Smit has made a commitment to affordable housing and HRB. He’s now a major donor—at the age of 39.

Pino and Lani Sordello, owners of mom-and-pop business Via Rosa 11, treat their workers like family. How else to keep these valued employees, who cannot afford the island’s high-priced housing, driving in from distant towns?
