Grant & Scholarship Opportunities
As a community foundation, we are first and foremost stewards of our donors' dollars. That means we devote considerable time to learning about the most pressing needs in our communities and helping donors find the best way to use their generous dollars. Donor funds are distributed either through grants or scholarships.
We distribute funds in three major categories:
- Competitive grants -- those for which nonprofits compete based on pre-set requirements
- Donor advised grants -- given based on the advice of donors, often with our recommendations
- Scholarships -- funds distributed to individuals for educational purposes based on pre-set criteria.
If you are interested, please
sign up to receive grant or scholarship announcements.
Our affiliate communities have their own grant cycles for local nonprofits, so if you live in Haines, on the Kenai Peninsula, Petersburg, Seward or the Talkeetna area,
information about their grants will be listed in their sections of this site.
