Ideal Applicant
A small or local nonprofit, school, youth sports club, or faith-based/community organization seeking a single-project or modest program grant (typical request size $1K–$13K) with demonstrated local impact in Alaska and several western states.
Good Fit
- • Asks for one-year, project-specific funding in the $1K–$10K range.
- • Clear connection to communities in AK, CA, AZ, WY, ID, OR or nearby states.
- • Programs serving youth, education, community improvements, or local human services.
- • Concise budget and explanation of how a small grant will be used.
- • Willingness to submit via the foundation’s online application or by contacting the listed phone/address.
Geography
Observed grants span multiple states (7 distinct states in 2024 and up to 11–12 in earlier years), with a meaningful share to Alaska but substantial out-of-state giving (about 74% of dollars went outside the foundation state).
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 28 distinct recipients and the foundation consistently funds dozens of independent organizations annually, with a mix of returning and new grantees rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports openness: a published application page, rolling deadlines, a phone and mailing contact are present, and roughly half of 2024 recipients were new grantees, indicating unfamiliar applicants can and do enter the portfolio.
