Grant Description
Grants of up to $3,500 to Alaska nonprofit organizations, schools, tribal entities, and faith-based organizations for projects and programs that benefit residents in eligible communities. Projects may fall into the following focus areas: arts and culture, community development, health and wellness, the great outdoors, and education. Eligible projects are those that benefit residents in the Chilkat Valley area. Preference will be given to applications that have the potential to impact a broad range of Chilkat Valley area residents.

Applications are being considered in three (3) grant categories:

  1. Operating Support Grants may be awarded to sustainable organizations in amounts not to exceed 20% of the local organization’s secured cash annual budget.
  2. New Program and Special Project Grants may be awarded for programs and projects that are not undertaken on an annual basis.
  3. Capital Grants (i.e. grants for construction, remodel, renovation, technology, furniture, equipment, etc.) Capital Grant applicants will receive extra scoring points if they have applied for any other grant, such as a Rasmuson Foundation Grant for the proposed project, prior to applying to CVCF.
