The foundation’s application materials call for a pre-application interview before submission. Applicants are asked to describe the project’s community need, plan, sustainability, people served, timing, and budget, and to provide organizational information and responsible parties. A recent financial statement is requested if available, but the application page says its absence does not automatically prevent applying. For requests of $35,000 or more, the application page calls for a letter of support from a partner such as a tribe, city, school, or ANCSA corporation. The foundation’s grant materials describe annual funding with rolling quarterly deadlines. The foundation’s filing says grantees must provide quarterly activity reports and a final report; site visits may also occur.
