Partnership Grants

In December 2025, the board of trustees adopted a new strategic plan strengthening alignment across Trust grantmaking, partnerships, and asset stewardship—ensuring that every effort is coordinated, strategic, and focused on outcomes that matter to Alaskans. As a part of this process, four key priority areas were identified. These priorities describe where the Trust will direct its focus to strengthen Alaska’s system of care.

Trust Strategic Plan Priorities:

• Prevention & Early Intervention
• Crisis Response
• Treatment & Recovery
• Ongoing Support and Wellbeing

The Trust has begun the process of implementing its new strategy. During this time, applications for grant funding will continue to be accepted and considered each quarter. Organizations interested in partnering with the Trust are encouraged to review the plan and to identify which priority or priorities their project or initiative advances.

Read more information about the plan.

Partnership grant applications are accepted on a quarterly basis. These 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.

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.
