Grants

The Seward Community Foundation supports charitable projects and organizations that strengthen Seward and Moose Pass.

Our grants support a broad range of community needs, including health and wellness, education, arts and culture, outdoor recreation, youth programs, human services, and community development.

Mini-Grants

Mini-grants of up to $2,000 are available throughout the year to support a wide range of community needs in Seward and Moose Pass.

Applications are reviewed by the SCF Advisory Board at its monthly meetings. The deadline to submit an application for consideration is the 5th of each month.

Important: SCF’s regular mini-grant program will be paused during October 2026 while we accept applications for the Nourished Communities Grant Opportunity.

Annual Grant Program

SCF also offers an annual competitive grant cycle for larger community projects.

Annual grants typically range from $1,000 to $12,000 and support eligible charitable organizations serving Seward and Moose Pass.

The annual grant cycle generally opens in January. Details and application dates for the next cycle will be posted here when available.

Eligible applicants include qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofits and equivalent charitable organizations, such as Tribal entities, schools, and faith-based organizations, that are based in or directly serve Seward and/or Moose Pass.

Additional resources are available for organizations applying for SCF grants or working with a fiscal sponsor.

Grant recipients are required to complete an online grant agreement before funds are released and submit a final grant report within one year of the award date.

Grant agreements, report deadlines, and reporting forms are available through the online grants system.

 

We encourage grantees to share the impact of their SCF-funded work and recognize the community support that makes these grants possible.
