To promote philanthropy and effectively respond to the needs of our community to create a healthy, safe, and culturally rich environment.
Juneau Community Foundation’s recent giving is defined by large, repeated support for housing stability, homelessness response, and behavioral health in Juneau. The largest grant on file is a $2,000,000 award to State of Alaska Legislative Affairs for building improvements, but the pattern that follows is more telling: six-figure grants recur to Juneau Housing First Collaborative for housing programs, to Gastineau Human Services for substance abuse and homelessness services, and to Jamhi Health and Wellness for operating support. That mix shows a foundation funding both direct service delivery and the infrastructure around it. The foundation also backs organizations serving people facing trauma, suicide risk, hospice needs, and youth barriers to participation. Aiding Women From Abuse and Rape Emergencies Inc received multiple grants for trauma services, while Nami Juneau and Bartlett Regional Hospital appear in the recent-grants list with suicide prevention, hospice, and navigator-related support. Juneau Community Foundation also uses its giving to support schools, youth access, food programs, and local public services, including city and borough efforts tied to youth shelter and parks. Across the recent record, the work stays closely tied to community needs in Juneau and nearby Southeast Alaska.
Housing and homelessness are central to the foundation’s recent grantmaking. Juneau Housing First Collaborative received $572,569 in 2024 and $515,000 in 2025 for housing programs, while Juneau Cooperative Christian Ministry received $152,332 in 2023 for emergency shelter and homelessness-related work. Behavioral health and crisis response are another clear thread. Gastineau Human Services received $423,000 in 2025 for substance abuse and homelessness services, and Nami Juneau received $154,000 in 2023 and $134,500 in 2025 for suicide prevention and education. The foundation also funds youth and family supports. The City and Borough of Juneau received $200,000 in 2025 and $200,000 in 2024 for youth shelter and parks, and Juneau School District City/Borough of Juneau received $193,500 in 2024 and $177,000 in 2025 for education and food programs.
Typical grant size sits at $15,000 at the 25th percentile, $32,500 at the median, and $108,882 at the 75th percentile, showing a mix of smaller community awards and larger institutional grants. The recent record also includes repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially for housing, health, and youth services, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. Juneau Community Foundation is a public charity, and its active programs include both discretionary grants and named endowment or scholarship programs. Two active programs accept unsolicited requests, including discretionary community grants and the Juneau History Grant.
