The Cordova Community Foundation (CCF), an affiliate of The Alaska Community Foundation, is accepting applications for its 2026 Competitive Grant Program for charitable projects and programs serving the Cordova area.
Funding and Deadline
Maximum request: $3,000
Application deadline: September 30, 2026 at 5:00 PM AKST, as published in the controlling September 9, 2026 grant guidelines
Application period: August 24 through September 30, 2026
Submission: Alaska Community Foundation online grant-management system
The current guidelines do not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement. Priority is given to organizations that did not receive funding in the previous year’s cycle.
Purpose
CCF supports charitable work addressing community needs in Cordova, including health and wellness, education, outdoor activities, arts and culture, and community development. The Foundation seeks projects that improve quality of life for Cordova residents.
Eligibility
Eligible organizations include qualifying 501(c)(3) public charities with applicable 509(a) public-charity status, faith-based organizations providing social services, federally recognized Tribes or Tribal nonprofit organizations, and city governments or boroughs. Individuals, state or federal agencies, for-profit organizations or businesses, certain private nonprofits, non-Alaska organizations, and activities outside the published guidelines are not eligible direct applicants.
Ineligible organizations, individuals with projects, or community groups may be able to participate through a qualified fiscal sponsor. A fiscal-sponsor letter must accompany the application when fiscal sponsorship is used.
Application Requirements
Applicants use ACF’s online grant-management system and provide the requested grant amount, project description including population served and expected impact, project budget and budget narrative, and organizational background including mission, services and population served. Awardees are also expected to provide a program report and press-release-style update with photos showing how the award was used.
Atlas Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 68/100. N9+ Fit Score: 5/100. Health and wellness is an explicit program area, but the $3,000 request ceiling and broad community-grant structure do not establish a strong or specific role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform or QC Healthcare. Atlas should not force a technology fit. This opportunity is best treated as publication and monitoring unless an independently eligible Cordova organization identifies a small, clearly allowable health project with a legitimate partnership need.
