Funding Information
Typical grant awards range from $1,000 to $4,000.
Eligibility Criteria
The Ketchikan Community Foundation (KCF), an Affiliate of The Alaska Community Foundation (ACF), seeks applications from qualified, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations (or equivalents, such as Tribal entities, schools, and faith-based organizations) that support charitable organizations and programs in the Ketchikan area. During this grant cycle, awards will be made for projects that provide PHYSICAL & EMOTIONAL SUPPORT to the Ketchikan community.
Ineligible organizations or activities: Individuals, for-profit, 501(c)(4), 501(c)(6), and non-Alaska based organizations, private or family foundations, state and federal government agencies, and ad hoc groups without a tax-exempt legal status are not eligible for competitive grants. Applications for religious indoctrination or other religious activities, endowment building, deficit financing, fundraising, lobbying, electioneering, or activities of political nature will not be considered, nor will proposals for ads, sponsorships, special events (e.g. fundraisers), salaries, general operating expenses (e.g. rent and utilities), or travel outside of Ketchikan and any proposals which discriminate as to race, gender, marital status, sexual preference, age, disability, creed, or ethnicity.
Evaluation Criteria
The KCF Grants Committee is composed of volunteer Advisory Board and other community members. The committee strives to facilitate a competitive process that is fair and transparent, and all eligible applications are reviewed and evaluated using a scoring matrix by each committee member. Preference will be given to applicants who have not been funded in the current three-year cycle and to projects which have the potential to impact a broad range of Ketchikan area residents.
Applications should detail measurable and achievable outcomes and demonstrate other sources of support, collaboration, and/or cooperation. Applications should also address the sustainability of the proposed program or project for which funding is desired. Typical grant awards range from $1,000 to $4,000 and the Ketchikan Community Foundation typically receives requests for more funding than is available for granting. Please note if partial funding will still allow your organization to achieve success in your grant project. Evaluation criteria include but are not limited to the overall merit of the project, the ability of the organization to successfully complete the project, the clarity and measurability of the project’s goal, the feasibility of the time frame given for completion of the project, and the number of people served.
