GrantID: 74025
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support organizations making a positive impact within a specific Alaskan community. Funding is available on an annual cycle and prioritizes programs that address critical social service needs. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations and government agencies serving the local area—unfortunately, individuals and small businesses are not eligible.
Applicants can seek support for a wide range of initiatives, from mental health services and substance use recovery to housing support, end-of-life care, and assistance for vulnerable populations such as seniors, infants, and people facing violence. The goal is to strengthen the community's social safety net through programs that deliver measurable, meaningful outcomes.
Grantees may use awarded funds to support staffing, operational costs, program expansion, educational or outreach efforts, and service delivery. Emphasis is placed on well-structured proposals that include clear plans, realistic budgets, and demonstrations of community benefit.
The application process typically follows a two-stage timeline: first, a proposal outlining the program’s purpose and strategy, followed by a more detailed submission for select applicants. Decisions are made later in the year, with funding distributed shortly thereafter.
The total pot of available funding is substantial, with multiple organizations supported each year. Individual awards vary based on program scope and community impact, ensuring flexibility for both smaller and larger projects. While the grant favors established providers with track records of service, innovative new partnerships and approaches are also welcomed if aligned with regional priorities.
In summary, this opportunity offers meaningful support for nonprofits and public agencies committed to addressing pressing social needs in a defined Alaskan locale. With a focus on measurable outcomes, thoughtful programming, and sustainable service models, this grant is well-suited to organizations working on issues like health, housing, elder care, and crisis support.
