Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation’s stated purpose is to provide financial support to 501(c)(3) programs serving children, veterans, and active-duty military members and their families. Its website also identifies food banks and pantries as a focus. The 2025 annual report reports giving of $332,000 for children, $198,750 for military, $110,000 for food banks, and $54,750 for veterans.
Examples of supported organizations illustrate these areas. Operation Homefront’s stated mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families. Girl Scouts Arizona Cactus-Pine says it builds girls’ courage, confidence, and character. Food Bank of Alaska says it works to eliminate hunger in Alaska by providing food to partner agencies and through anti-hunger leadership. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not the Foundation’s.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the Foundation reported 19 grants totaling $502,000. Grants ranged from $5,500 to $120,000, with a median of $15,000.
Among the largest reported awards were $120,000 to Operation Homefront, $65,000 to Girl Scouts Arizona Cactus-Pine, $60,000 to Armed Services YMCA of Alaska, $45,000 to Girl Scouts of Alaska, and $25,000 each to the American Diabetes Association and Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. Other reported recipients included Food Bank of Alaska ($24,000), Covenant House ($20,000), American Red Cross of Alaska ($15,000), Special Olympics Alaska ($15,000), and Beans Cafe ($15,000).
The Foundation’s 2023 filing says eligible organizations must fit one of its stated categories and submit a grant request. Requests and financial reports are consolidated for quarterly board review. The board evaluates requests for eligibility, the needs-based services offered, and the impact of the grant; the filing says grantees are asked to report on the grant’s impact.
