Chugiak-Eagle River Foundation Grants

Fact (page-stated): The Chugiak-Eagle River Foundation (CERF), an affiliate of the Alaska Community Foundation, makes grants primarily to organizations based in and serving the Chugiak-Eagle River area of Alaska. Fact: eligible applicants are Alaskan 501(c)(3) public charities (509(a)(1)/(2)/(3) Type I & II), schools, federally recognized Tribes, and city/borough governments whose primary purpose is charitable, educational, civic, patriotic, social, literary, cultural, athletic, or scientific. Fact: funding focuses on capital projects (furnishings, buildings, equipment, books, vehicles, instruments, etc.) and occasionally special/innovative start-up projects of broad community significance. Fact: it does NOT fund individuals, general operations, endowments, indirect/overhead, debt, or (generally) churches/political activity. Fact: applications are accepted year-round through the grant portal; the CERF Advisory Board reviews proposals quarterly, and applicants are informed within 10 days of the board meeting.
