Annual Grants - Tier 1

The Alaska Children's Trust (ACT) aims to prevent child abuse and neglect through its Annual Grants - Tier 1, which provide up to $10,000 for community-driven initiatives. This year, the grants focus on implementing the Positive Indigenous Parenting curriculum, enhancing access to culturally relevant parenting classes. Eligible organizations, particularly those outside Anchorage with trained facilitators, can apply to conduct PIP classes, train new facilitators, or improve existing offerings. This funding addresses Alaska's high child abuse rates by empowering local communities.

Our annual Tier 1 Grant awards up to $10,000.
