    About Arctic Slope Community Foundation

    Arctic Slope Community Foundation Inc. gives around a clear community mandate: strengthening culture and improving quality of life among the people of the Arctic Slope. Recent grants show that approach in practice through repeated support for food security, education, and Iñupiaq arts, culture, and language preservation, along with healthy communities and infrastructure. The foundation’s grantmaking includes both operating-style support and equipment or capital purchases, reflecting a mix of direct service and community investment. A recurring recipient in the record is Utqiagvik Presbyterian Church, which received multiple grants for food security across 2023, 2024, and 2025. Arctic Education Foundation also appears repeatedly for youth workshops, indicating sustained support for learning and engagement for young people in the region. Other grants point to community-specific needs, from food distribution and emergency preparedness to sports, media, and cultural equipment. The foundation’s latest 990 year on file is 2025, and it reported annual grants of $3,196,865 with total assets of $8,357,535. Its recent giving shows a local pattern centered on Arctic Slope communities in Alaska.

    What Arctic Slope Community Foundation Funds

    Food security is one of the clearest threads in the foundation’s recent giving. It awarded $233,000 in 2024 and $198,000 in 2025 to Utqiagvik Presbyterian Church for food security, and also provided $56,000 to Point Hope Assembly of God for the same purpose. Education support appears through direct program funding and student access costs. Arctic Education Foundation received $238,900 in 2024 and $133,000 in 2025 for youth workshops, while Rural Alaska Honors Institute received $34,900 in 2024 for campus expenses. The foundation also backs cultural and community infrastructure. New Beginnings Church of God received $58,035 in 2023 for media and musical equipment, and Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commiss received $58,200 in 2024 for whaling equipment.

    How Arctic Slope Community Foundation Gives

    Typical grant size sits in a middle band: the 25th percentile is $26,942, the median is $43,570, and the 75th percentile is $58,334. The recent record includes many awards in that range, alongside larger program grants. The pattern also shows repeat funding. Utqiagvik Presbyterian Church, Arctic Education Foundation, Point Hope Assembly of God, Nagsragmiut Tribal Council, Kuukpik Presbyterian Church, Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commiss, and New Beginnings Church of God all appear more than once across the recent grants list. ASCF accepts unsolicited applications through its local grants program and also uses a preapproval process for organizations that have designation documents and financial statements on file.
