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.
