As an Affiliate of The Alaska Community Foundation, the Cordova Community Foundation’s (CCF) goal is to support projects that enhance the quality of life for Cordova residents, addressing immediate needs while working toward long-term improvements. We are continually listening and learning about what is important to you.
We use proceeds from our growing permanent endowment to award yearly grants to support charitable organizations and programs in Cordova. Grants support a broad range of community needs, including: health and wellness, education, the great outdoors, arts and culture, and community development. We seek projects that have the potential to impact a broad range of local residents and show collaboration with other organizations in our hometown.
Please feel free to contact any member of the Advisory Board if you have a project you hope we’ll support.
2022 Grant Cycle Opens September 1st
Our 2022 grant program will be open from September 1, 2022 to October 14, 2022 by 5:00 pm AKST. We seek applications from qualified, tax exempt 501(c)(3) organizations (or equivalents, such as Tribal entities, schools, and faith-based organizations) that support charitable projects and programs in Cordova. Ineligible organizations or community groups may be able to receive funding for projects/programs if they seek support from a qualified organization that is willing to provide fiscal sponsorship.
Grants will promote healthy communities and support a broad range of community needs, including: compassionate health care, innovative education, community enrichment, active enjoyment of the natural environment, and arts and cultural expression. Individual grant amounts will be awarded from $500 – $3,000.
Grant applications must be submitted online by 5:00pm AKST on Friday, October 14, 2022.
If you are a current grantee and need to complete a grant report or other follow-up, please note that these are completed using the online grant system.
