The Usibelli Foundation Grant Program supports registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organizations serving Alaska in Arts, Community, Education, Health, Safety & Social Services, and Youth. The Foundation specifically identifies health and social-service examples including mental health, senior community, first aid, and food banks.
Funding: The current public program materials do not publish a universal maximum award, minimum award, or total cycle pool. Applicants enter the requested grant amount and total program budget in the official application.
Deadline / timing: The next 2026 Allocations Committee meeting is November 11, 2026. The Foundation directs applicants to submit funding requests at least three days before the meeting. The public materials do not publish an exact clock time or time zone for that submission requirement. Requests also must be submitted before the funded event or activity occurs.
Eligibility: The official application states that grants are for registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organizations. Applicants select the Alaska service geography, including Fairbanks/North Pole, Healy/Anderson/Cantwell/Nenana, Mat-Su Valley, Anchorage, or another area within Alaska.
Required application information and documents: Full legal organization name, mailing address, Tax Identification Number, current IRS documentation of federal tax exemption under section 501(c)(3) or 509(a), website, primary contact information, service geography, grant category, program/project/event name and date, requested amount, total program budget, request narrative, estimated number of beneficiaries, major donors/business supporters, and a current board-of-directors list. Additional supporting documentation is optional.
Match / cost share: Atlas found no published mandatory match or cost-share percentage in the current Foundation page or official application. The application does ask for other major donors and business supporters. Applicants should not infer a match requirement unless the Foundation provides one for the specific request.
Submission: Apply through the Foundation’s official online Usibelli Foundation Grant Application. Applications are reviewed by the Allocations Committee, which meets quarterly.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 76/100. This is a legitimate, open Alaska charitable funding vehicle with explicit health, safety, social-services and education relevance, statewide geographic flexibility, and a comparatively straightforward application. The lack of a published award ceiling and detailed cost-allowability rules requires project-specific diligence.
N9+ Fit Score: 25/100 conditional. The program supports health and social-services projects, but the current public materials do not expressly identify telehealth, remote examination technology, medical equipment, or connected diagnostics as eligible costs. Atlas will not assume equipment allowability or force the Nonagon N9+ device and platform into a request. A technology-related role should be considered only after a qualified nonprofit documents a genuine need and confirms project-specific allowability with the Foundation.
