Funding for Programs Providing Opportunities for Families in Alaska (USA)
GrantID: 75445
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This grant opportunity is designed for organizations based in Alaska that are pursuing meaningful community improvement projects. It’s open to nonprofit organizations, tribal entities, and local governmental units; while individuals are eligible only in specific artist-award programs, the main funding track targets groups with institutional capacity. Projects should serve Alaskan residents and align with community priorities such as infrastructure improvements, technology or equipment upgrades, facility enhancements, or initiatives that significantly boost organizational or regional impact.
The funds can be used for one-time investments—examples include purchasing or upgrading technology, renovating a facility, acquiring vehicles or equipment, or expanding program space. They are not intended for ongoing operating costs, general staffing, or everyday program expenses. The goal is to support tangible, durable assets or project investments that strengthen the organization’s ability to serve its community for years to come.
There are several tiers of award size corresponding to project scale. Smaller grants (often up to US $35,000) support targeted equipment or improvement efforts. Medium-sized grants (for example up to US $250,000) support larger facility or program expansion work. Major awards are available for strategic, large-scale initiatives and may exceed that amount depending on scope. For artistic individuals, separate awards may be lower (~US $10,000–$25,000) and tailored to creative work.
The application process typically accepts submissions year-round for the smaller tier (on a rolling basis). Larger project categories follow scheduled review cycles and may include letters of inquiry. The granting organization reviews committees several times annually, so the opportunity recurs each year, though the number of awards and funding totals vary by cycle.
Eligible applicants in Alaska with a demonstrated commitment to Community Development & Services are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
