As an Affiliate of The Alaska Community Foundation, the Kodiak Community Foundation’s (KCF) goal is to support projects of importance to our community and that will help us all become better stewards of the land. We are continually listening and learning about what is important to you.
We use proceeds from our growing permanent endowment to award yearly grants to support charitable organizations and programs on the Kodiak Archipelago. Grants support a broad range of community needs, including health and wellness, education, the great outdoors, arts and culture, and community development. We seek projects that have the potential to impact a broad range of residents and show collaboration with other organizations.
Please feel free to contact any member of the Advisory Board if you have a project you hope we’ll support.
The Kodiak Community Foundation hosted a Grant Writing Workshop on Saturday, August 13. Thank you to all who were able to join us. We hope you learned something new and enjoyed the opportunity to connect and collaborate with other nonprofits!
2022 Competitive Grant Cycle Opens September 1
Our 2022 competitive grants cycle will open on September 1, 2022 and will close at 5pm, September 30, 2022. Winners will be announced in middle to late October with grant distributions shortly after that.
While KCF is open to supporting a community project with a larger grant, there are limited funds available for grants in 2022. Average awards for past years range between $1,500 and $5,000.
Grant awards are subject to the grantee completing an online grant agreement. Grant projects should be completed within one year of receiving the award and a final online grant report must be submitted online by the due date listed in the grant agreement. If you are a current grantee and need to complete a grant report or other follow-up, please log into the online grant system.
Before applying for a KCF Grant, please review the 2022 Kodiak CF Competitive Grant Cycle Guidelines.
