Eligible applicants include Alaska-based 501(c)(3) organizations, local or Tribal governments, and, in some cases, faith-based organizations undertaking broad community-impact projects. Applicants must demonstrate organizational capacity, successful community collaboration, strong community support, sustainability planning, and generally multiple funding sources; individuals are ineligible. Applicants should consult a program officer and submit a Letter of Inquiry by February 1 or August 1, with selected organizations invited to submit full proposals.
