Ketchikan Community Foundation Grant Program

The Ketchikan Community Foundation Grant Program, part of The Alaska Community Foundation, invites applications from 501(c)(3) organizations and equivalents to support community projects in Ketchikan. The new IMPACT GRANT aims to address diverse needs, including health, education, and arts, with funding up to $50,000. Eligible organizations include local nonprofits, faith-based groups, and tribal entities, fostering sustainable community development and lasting impacts.

The Ketchikan Community Foundation (KCF), an Affiliate of The Alaska Community Foundation, seeks applications from charitable organizations and non-profits in Ketchikan that strive to strengthen the physical and emotional well-being of the people in our community. Eligible projects may address physical needs, emotional or mental health support, crisis response, healing and recovery, caregiving, community connection, or the reduction of isolation and stress. We encourage applicants to think broadly about how their work supports individuals, families, and communities in meeting essential physical or emotional needs and in building resilience, belonging, and overall well-being in Ketchikan.
This year’s Ketchikan Community Foundation grant theme is: Physical and Emotional Support
