- Attracting gifts and bequests from many donors;
- Creating permanent endowments dedicated to improving the quality of life for Homer Area citizens forever.
- Administer non-endowment funds to allow for flexibility to meet community needs.
- Managing its funds through cooperative investment and prudent management of its gifts and bequests;
- Distributing funds in a manner consistent with the Foundation’s mission and the Donor’s interests.
The Homer Foundation’s City of Homer Grants program is made possible through an annual allocation from the City of Homer and annual earnings from the City of Homer and Kachemak City endowment funds. Criteria have been established taking into consideration the City of Homer’s intent to support locally based non-profit organizations that provide services within the City of Homer, and Kachemak City’s intent to support those organizations that provide services within the City of Homer that benefit the residents of Kachemak City.
