We invite you to come live, worship, and shop in Bona Fide Bellevue.
Bona Fide Bellevue is a registered 501c3 non-profit Community Development Corporation (CDC) dedicated to celebrating Bellevue’s unique community and welcoming others to join us as we cultivate a more vibrant place to live, worship and shop.
Generous donors like you make so much possible.
Founded in 2008, our volunteer-driven organization has brought neighbors together to strengthen community pride, support local businesses, preserve our history, and create welcoming spaces for all. Since completing our first strategic plan in 2009, Bona Fide Bellevue has driven neighborhood revitalization through event programming, public space enhancement, civic pride, and inclusive outreach.
Guided by our values of appreciation, respect, collaboration, and inclusivity, we lead initiatives that enhance daily life in Bellevue. From large-scale events like Rhythm & Brews, Bellevue UnWined, the Live Worship Shop House Tour, and Light Up Bellevue, to ongoing programs like Improve the Vue, the Bellevue Farmers Market, and our Community Garden, we believe that vibrant communities grow when people connect, celebrate, and care for one another.
