GrantID: 75444
Grant Funding Amount Low: $35,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $250,000
Summary
This grant program is designed to support nonprofit organizations and community-based projects located in the state of Alaska. Awards typically range from $35,000 to $250,000, depending on the scope of the project and the organization’s capacity. The funds may be used for capital projects — such as construction, renovation, equipment, technology upgrades, park or trail improvements, historic-preservation initiatives — as well as non-capital initiatives with broad community impact. The intent is to help organizations strengthen community infrastructure and services, enhance civic spaces, and increase long-term benefits for local residents.
Eligibility is aimed at established organizations with a track record of collaboration and strong project management, particularly those that have previously received funding from this grantmaker. Non-profits are eligible, though first-time applicants are encouraged to apply through a smaller program first. Applicants must demonstrate sound financial health (for example, board giving is expected for non-profits), and projects should include planning for sustainability, partnership support, and community engagement. Matching funds or additional funding sources are preferred, as the funder typically looks for shared investment in the project. Note that core government functions (such as roads, K-12 schools, utility infrastructure) are generally not eligible.
Applications are accepted year-round for capital projects (with quarterly review cycles) and twice a year for programmatic or non-capital requests. Decisions typically take three to twelve months depending on the type of request and completeness of the application. If you represent a nonprofit or community organization in Alaska with a project that builds community capacity, infrastructure or shared spaces, this grant may provide substantial support for realizing that vision.
Organizations and individuals based in Alaska who are engaged in Community Development & Services may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
