Summary
There are grant opportunities available in Alaska for nonprofit groups, tribal entities, schools, local governments, and other service organizations that deliver public benefit across the state. These grants aim to support community well-being, program innovation, capacity building, and projects that address local needs.
Applicants must typically demonstrate operations in Alaska or significant service to Alaskan communities. Eligible entities often include tax-exempt nonprofits, Tribes or tribal agencies, schools, and government units or collaborations. Proposed projects must avoid funding activities like lobbying, capital construction, endowment-building, or purchase of land. Grant programs generally fund program delivery, operational support, staff training, or new initiatives—but not major building or real property costs.
Award levels vary across programs, with many capacity- or operational-support grants commonly falling into a range of a few thousand dollars up to mid-level support. One capacity-building grant program allows requests up to $10,000, with many awards made in the mid-thousands. Another public storytelling or journalism funding pool is capped at about $36,000, though awards may be divided among multiple projects. Some program grants allow renewal for additional years, suited to multiyear implementation.
Grant cycles run several times a year or on fixed schedules depending on the specific fund or initiative. Applicants must submit detailed project plans, budgets, and intended outcomes. Selection is based on criteria such as community impact, feasibility, alignment with regional priorities, and organizational capacity. Recipients are required to report on outcomes and use of funds.
These opportunities make it possible for organizations across Alaska to access support to build strength, deliver community services, pilot innovative ideas, and expand their local impact. The funding is focused on helping projects that reflect state and community needs, especially in underserved or rural areas.
Organizations and individuals based in Alaska who are engaged in Employment, Labor & Training Workforce may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity.
