Partnership Grants

The application process and deadlines have been updated for the Partnership Grant program. Grants applications will now be accepted on a quarterly basis.  See below for new process details. (Note, while the application process has been updated, the Partnership Grant program and the types of initiatives considered for funding have not changed.)

Partnership grants may be awarded to organizations that serve Trust beneficiaries for a specific purpose or need that is consistent with the Trust’s mission and current funding priorities.

Typically, partnership grants are one-time grants with a one year term, up to $50,000.

Eligible organizations for partnership grants are foundations, government agencies, tribal entities, nonprofits and corporations who serve Trust beneficiaries.

For partnership grant funding examples, please see our Grant Guidelines.

Partnership Grants have the following application deadlines:

• February 15, by 5:00pm Alaska Time
• May 15, by 5:00pm Alaska Time
• August 15, by 5:00pm Alaska Time
• November 15, by 5:00pm Alaska Time

If the application deadline falls on a weekend or State of Alaska holiday, the application deadline will roll to the close of the next business day at 5:00pm Alaska Time.

The process, from application submission to a final decision by the Trust, will take around takes 3-5 months, but in some cases may take longer.
