Alaska Community Foundation

Alaska Community Foundation connects donors, organizations, and causes to strengthen Alaska communities. Based in Anchorage, ACF supports philanthropy through charitable funds, grantmaking, scholarships, and community leadership, helping build lasting resources for communities across the state.

Through its Affiliate Network, established in 2008 with the Rasmuson Foundation, ACF helps local community foundations grow place-based philanthropy. Affiliate advisory boards develop endowment funds, recommend grants to local nonprofits and charitable projects, and build community capacity through training, workshops, and convenings. This structure gives local leaders a role in directing charitable resources toward priorities identified in their own communities.

ACF’s published work also highlights locally guided efforts, including support for food security and subsistence-knowledge initiatives in Alaska’s Arctic communities.
