Kodiak Community Support Inc concentrates its giving on sustaining Kodiak Island’s Indigenous and small-municipality infrastructure, with the vast majority of dollars going to Native-led organizations and local government entities. Grants skew toward operating support and basic community services (food security, municipal needs, scholarships, youth programming), with a clear preference for Kodiak-area recipients. The foundation appears focused on maintaining local capacity and community resilience rather than national or thematic initiatives.
Kodiak Community Support Inc made its largest recent award to Kodiak Area Native Association: $665,405 in 2025 for patient and elder housing units, furnishings, Arctic Care support, landscaping and art at KANA Marketplace, and support for the Elder Services Department. That single grant shows how the foundation combines facility needs, elder support, and community space improvements in one place-based portfolio. The same recipient also appears in smaller grants for food security and business expenses, which points to continued support across different operating needs. The foundation’s giving stays close to Kodiak Island and centers Native-led organizations, municipal entities, and local service providers. Its recent grants also include support for youth recreation through Kodiak Hockey League, economic development through Kodiak Economic Development Corporation, and scholarships through Kodiak Scholarship Foundation. Across the grant list, the pattern is practical and local: housing, food access, municipal services, education, and community infrastructure. Leadership is listed as Jennifer Caskey.
Housing and elder services are a clear part of the foundation’s work. In 2025, Kodiak Area Native Association received $665,405 for patient and elder housing units, furnishings, support for Arctic Care, landscaping at KANA Marketplace, art for KANA Marketplace, and support for the Elder Services Department. Food security is another recurring theme. The foundation gave $33,834 to Kodiak Area Native Association for Food Security, $12,086 to the Alutiiq Tribe of Old Harbor for Food Security, $9,313 to Native Village of Port Lions for Food Security, and $7,796 to Native Village of Ouzinkie for Food Security. It also supports municipal operations in remote communities. Grants went to the City of Port Lions for Municipality Support, the City of Old Harbor for Municipality Support, and the City of Ouzinkie for Municipality Support. Education and youth show up as well through Kodiak Island Borough School District for Native Education Program and Kodiak Hockey League for Kodiak Community.
Kodiak Community Support Inc’s typical grant size is $7,970 at the 25th percentile, $14,232 at the median, and $28,262 at the 75th percentile. The distribution suggests a mix of modest operating grants and a very large outlier award. Recipients do repeat across years: Kodiak Area Native Association received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while several local public and tribal entities also appear more than once in the recent record. The foundation is a local grantmaker, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments.
