Alaska Children's Trust

Advocacy for Children, Youth, and Families Grant

Who can apply: Qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations may apply. Past ACT awardees in good standing are eligible, and applicants with open ACT grants must be current on reporting. Organizations without 501(c)(3) status must obtain their own fiscal sponsor by the time of award; ACT will not serve as fiscal sponsor. Funds may support Alaska-specific legislative and state budget advocacy, travel to Juneau, outreach materials, lobbying compliant with applicable requirements, lived-experience participation, and constituent engagement. Candidate endorsements, electoral activities, non-Alaska-specific or local/federal policy work are ineligible.

Deadline: Proposals due Sunday, December 6; grant period runs from execution of the agreement through May 31, 2027.

Additional Grants (Cultural Activities Grant, Advocacy Mini Grants, Conference Sponsorship)

Who can apply: Alaska-based organizations working in areas described (cultural activities, advocacy, out-of-school time, events). Specific eligibility varies by grant—applicants should consult individual grant guidelines when open.
