The Alaska Community Foundation is accepting the fourth and final round of applications to the AK Can Do COVID-19 response grant opportunity.

In partnership with the Rasmuson Foundation, and the United Way of Alaska, The Alaska Community Foundation’s (ACF) goal for the AK Can Do COVID-19 Response grant opportunity is to support nonprofit organizations who have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially those who have funding gaps that remain as a result of low or no funding awarded through the CARES Act and other foundation funding sources. They invite you to submit a proposal to meet this goal. This final round of funding will focus on supporting housing stability, but not to the exclusion of other needs.
