Advancing Alaska’s Wellness — supporting the development and operations of Alaska’s Federally Qualified Health Centers (Community Health Centers) and the workforce they depend on.
Apca Inc centers its grantmaking on Alaska’s health care workforce and the community health centers that depend on it. In the latest 990 year on file, the foundation reported $934,395 in annual grants and total assets of $4,240,947, with all 10 recent grants going to Alaska recipients. Its largest recent award, $257,249 to the Alaska Hospital & Healthcare Assoc, shows the scale of its support for system-level health capacity in the state. The next largest grants also point to a consistent pattern of backing community health infrastructure: Anchorage School District received $119,455, and Sunshine Community Health Center received $117,774, both as general support. Other awards reached Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center, University of Alaska Anchorage, and Interior Community Health Center, indicating a mix of service delivery, training, and operational support across the health sector. The foundation’s work is organized around advancing Alaska’s federally qualified health centers, primary care access, behavioral health integration, and the workforce needed to staff and sustain those services.
A major part of Apca Inc’s giving supports health center operations. It gave $108,812 to Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center for general support and $78,862 to Interior Community Health Center for general support, reinforcing its focus on community-based primary care. Workforce development is another clear emphasis. The foundation awarded $97,134 to University of Alaska Anchorage for general support and uses program pages for no-cost healthcare training enrollment, employee apprenticeships, and pre-apprenticeship training in healthcare. Education-linked health capacity also appears in its grant to Anchorage School District, which received $119,455 for general support. Beyond direct service providers, Apca Inc backs the broader Alaska health ecosystem through grants such as $62,500 to Southeast Regional Resource Center and $46,822 to Mat-su Health Services Inc, both listed as general support.
Apca Inc’s recent grants cluster in a mid-to-large range: the 25th percentile is $50,742, the median is $87,998, and the 75th percentile is $115,534. The 2025 list suggests a program built around general support rather than project-specific awards, with all top recent grants described that way. The foundation also appears to fund recurring local partners rather than national intermediaries, because every recent grant went to an Alaska recipient. Its active program pages show direct access points for participants and organizations, including unsolicited RFPs/notices and self-registration for no-cost training. The organization does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
