CLIENT APPLICATION INFORMATION AND
DEVELOPMENT RESOURCE DIRECTORY
ALASKA – REGION III
The Administration for Native Americans is committed to fostering economic and social
development in Native American communities and has developed the Client Application
Information and Development Resource Directory (C-AID) to forward that goal.
The C-AID was developed to assist the Tribal governments and Native American
Organizations to identify information and development resources that support infrastructure
development and capacity building for resources and programs that safeguard the health
and well-being of people and are essential to a thriving and self-sufficient community.
This directory is a reference to help you find resources through non-profit organizations,
government agencies, foundations, institutions and individuals working on a not-for-profit
basis that can provide resources, guidance, assistance, and information pertaining to
governance, and social and economic development, and any other training and technical
assistance needs your community may have.
To help the user of this Resource Manual, each program listed in the Table of Contents has
a Reference Code associated with it. This code indicates which kind of organization, the
type of program targeted, and if the organization or program offers funding. The table below
lists the Reference Codes and their meanings.

The mission of ANA is to promote economic and social self-sufficiency for American Indians,
Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Native Pacific Islanders. ANA provides
community-based project funding to improve the lives of Native Children and Families
thereby reducing long-term dependency on public assistance. Funding for community-based
projects is provided through three (3) competitive discretionary grant programs to eligible
Tribes and non-profit Native American organizations.
To promote self-sufficiency, ANA invests tax payer dollars in community-based projects
focused on social and economic development, language preservation, and environmental
regulatory enhancement. To achieve this mission, ANA provides project grant funding to
eligible Tribes and Native American non-profit organizations on a competitive basis. ANA
funds short-term projects that have definite goals and objectives to be achieved by the end
of the project period.
Native Americans both on and off reservations continue to face many profound social and
economic challenges. According to 2000 U.S. Census data, 25.7% of American
Indians/Alaska Natives live in poverty; 31% of Native American children under age 18 live in
poverty. These percentages rank Native American poverty at more than twice the overall US
rate. ANA addresses economic, social, and governance challenges facing Native American
communities through the Social and Economic Development Strategies (SEDS) Program.
Within the SEDS program area, ANA encourages social development projects,
strengthening families projects, economic development projects, and governance projects.
Social development projects invest in human and social capital to advance the needs of
Native Americans while incorporating culturally appropriate activities to enhance tribal,
community, and Alaska Native village goals. Strengthening families projects incorporate
culturally relevant strategies to strengthen families, foster child well-being, and promote
responsible fatherhood to nourish and sustain healthy families. Economic development
projects promote the physical, commercial, technological, industrial, and agricultural
components necessary for a sustainable local community. Governance projects increase
tribal and Alaska Native governments’ ability to exercise local control and decision-making
over their resources. Governance projects may be used for leadership and management
training or to assist in the development of laws, regulations, codes, policies, and practices.
Tribes face a multitude of risks and damage to human health and the environment posed by
pollution of the air, water, and land in Indian country and other Tribal areas including Alaska.
Tribal governments' jurisdiction over environmental issues is complicated by their land
borders and in many cases by weak, under-funded and ill-defined Tribal authorities. The
ANA Environmental Regulatory Enhancement Program empowers Tribes to overcome
environmental challenges by building internal capacities to develop, implement, monitor and
enforce their own environmental laws, regulations and ordinances in a culturally sensitive
manner.
In the early days of the United States, more than 300 Native languages were spoken.
Today, that number has dropped to 175 with only 20 taught to children; the remainders are

classified as deteriorating or nearing extinction. Faced with this impending crisis, ANA's
Native Language Preservation and Maintenance Program enables Native communities to
preserve traditional language and culture.
Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA) Contractors for Current and Prospective
Grantees
ANA provides free training and technical assistance (T/TA) to potential applicants and
current grantees through contractors in each ANA geographic region. Specifically, T/TA is
offered to eligible entities in planning, developing, conducting and administering ANA funded
projects; short-term in-service training for specialized or other personnel that is needed in
connection with projects receiving financial assistance from ANA; and upon an ANA denial
of a grant application, technical assistance to a potential grantee in revising a grant
proposal.
ANA contractors do not write applications. They can, however, assist prospective ANA
applicants with conceptualizing strategies for social and economic development projects, for
the maintenance and preservation of Native languages, and for environmental regulatory
enhancement projects, and translating those strategies into a viable application for ANA
funds. The T/TA is provided at no cost to the recipient. Any prospective applicant for ANA
funds is encouraged to contact the appropriate T/TA provider within their respective service

The Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines opened its doors in 1922. The school
grew quickly, and in 1935 became the University of Alaska. By the time Alaska became a
state in 1959, students could earn Ph.D.s at the university. UAF remains the only campus in
the state that awards doctoral degrees and it holds the distinction of being one of the few
Land, Sea, and Space Grant universities in the country.
UAF's 9,687 students come from Alaska, every other state, and 43 foreign countries. About
half graduated from high school in Alaska and nearly 300 are international students.
Undergraduate students make up 88 percent of the total student body. UAF has many non-
traditional students. Some are returning to college after years of working or raising a family
while others work full time while attending school or are pursuing a second associate or
bachelor's degree. Faculty teaches classes at every level, which means a student is able to
start building relationships with professors from the beginning.

gravity of language loss worldwide but particularly in the North. Of the state's twenty (20)
Native languages, only two (2) (Siberian Yupik in two villages on St. Lawrence Island, and
Central Yup'ik in seventeen (17) villages in southwestern Alaska) are spoken by children as
the first language of the home. ANLC, therefore, continues to document, cultivate, and
promote those languages as much as possible and thus contribute to their future and to the
heritage of all Alaskans.
ANLC publishes its research in story collections, dictionaries, grammars, and research
papers. The center houses an archival collection of more than 10,000 items, virtually
everything written in or about Alaska Native languages, including copies of most of the
earliest linguistic documentation, along with significant collections about related languages
outside Alaska. Staff members provide materials for bilingual teachers and other language
workers throughout the state assist social scientists and others who work with Native
languages, and provide consulting and training services to teachers, school districts, and
state agencies involved in bilingual education.

In August 1977, the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission (AEWC) was formed to represent
the whaling communities in an effort to convince the U.S. Government to take action to
preserve the Eskimos subsistence hunt of bowhead whales. The United States Government
did not object to the whaling ban but did agree to raise the issue at a special meeting of the
IWC that was held in December 1977. At the meeting, the U.S. Government promised to
undertake a major research effort to provide a better estimate of both the size of the stock
and how many animals were added to the stock each year. The U.S. scientific research
efforts developed a management plan to be followed by all the whalers to help improve the
efficiency of the subsistence hunt. The AEWC also decided to undertake efforts to educate
the outside world about the importance of the bowhead whale to their way of life.
The AEWC exists today as a tax-exempt non-profit corporation whose purpose is to:
preserve and enhance a vital marine resource, the bowhead whale, including the
protection of its habitat
to protect Eskimo subsistence bowhead whaling
to protect and enhance the Eskimo culture, traditions, and activities associated with
bowhead whales and subsistence bowhead whaling
to undertake research and educational activities related to bowhead whales
The commission carries out those purposes outlined above through the establishment of the
following goals:
ensure that the hunt of the bowhead whale is conducted according to the AEWC
Management Plan in a traditional, non-wasteful manner
promote extensive scientific research on the bowhead whale so as to ensure the
continued health of the bowhead stock
communicate to the outside world the facts pertaining to the subsistence bowhead
whale hunt, the manner in which it is conducted, the Eskimo’s knowledge of the
bowhead whale, and the centrality of the hunt to the cultural and nutritional needs of
the Eskimo

approximately 3 million acres of land, primarily subsurface estate. Roughly 5,400 Alaska
Natives with ties to the Bristol Bay region received 100 shares of stock in BBNC. Today,
BBNC has more than 7,800 shareholders.

Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes is the Tribal Government representing

have a government-to-government relationship with the United States.
The Council's headquarters is in Juneau, Alaska but their commitment is serving the Tlingit
and Haida people throughout the United States.
The history of the Central Council is intricately intertwined with the struggle of the Native
peoples of Southeast Alaska for equal rights. Over 50 years ago the Council evolved out of
the struggle of people to retain a way of life strongly based on subsistence. That struggle
included the rights of the people to claim lands they had used from time immemorial, lands
they were given no claim to under the Western concept of land ownership.
―When we are alone we are weak but together we are strong. You can make a difference.

Created in 1978 by Kawerak, Inc. Eskimo Walrus Commission (EWC) is the organization
representing Alaska's coastal walrus hunting communities. Initially formed as a consortium
of Native hunters, EWC is a recognized statewide entity working on resource co-
management issues, specifically walrus, on behalf of Alaska Natives as it continues to be an
essential cultural, natural, and subsistence resource to the Alaskan coastal Yupik and
Inupiaq communities. Walrus is also a primary resource of food for Alaska Natives and is
used to produce handicrafts and artwork from its ivory and bone.
A cooperative agreement between U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and EWC was
developed in 1997 to encourage subsistence hunters' participation in conserving and
managing walrus stocks in the coastal communities. In 1998, a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOA) between EWC, Alaska Department of Fish & Game, and FWS was
signed further allowing joint management of the Pacific Walrus Conservation Fund where
the majority of the funds come from the sale of raw ivory by EWC during state conferences
and events.
EWC continues to work cooperatively with the FWS on a number of projects:
Conducting biannual meetings of commission members - 19 communities
Monitoring subsistence walrus hunts on Round Island with BBNA’s Qayassiq Walrus
Commission in the Bristol Bay
Collecting detailed walrus harvest data and biological samples in five communities
Recording general walrus harvest data through the federally mandated marking,
tagging, and reporting program
Working through a cooperative agreement between U.S. and Russian with all
Chukotka Native coastal communities in the harvest, conservation and sound
management of the Pacific walrus

$1.9 billion in our Alaska operations.
In the past two years, BP has grown its Alaska workforce by 40 percent, to more than 2,000
employees. During that same time, our contractor workforce has increased by 2,500, to
more than 6,000 jobs.
BP has a long-term view in Alaska, and that includes our community involvement. Since
2000, BP has contributed more than $55 million to educational and community organizations

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is the domestic anti-poverty,
social justice program of the U.S. Catholic bishops. Its mission is to address the root causes
of poverty in the United States through promotion and support of community-controlled, self-
help organizations and through transformative education. CCHD is committed to supporting
groups of low-income individuals as they work to break the cycle of poverty and improve
their communities. By helping the poor to participate in the decisions and actions that affect
their lives, CCHD empowers them to move beyond poverty.
The program has the following two goals:
To support low-income people as they empower themselves through the creation
and operation of economic development institutions; and,
To develop alternative economic structures that effect equitable access to income
and a just balance of individual- and community-held assets.
CCHD funds the following two categories of projects:

Community Organizing Grants
This program supports projects in which people work together to address the needs of their
community, and poor and marginalized people join together to seek solutions to local
problems and find ways to improve their lives and neighborhoods. Funded projects should
assist individuals to develop as community leaders and to mobilize the community's
resources. Organizations must demonstrate a change from traditional approaches to poverty
by attacking the basic causes of poverty and by effecting institutional change. Requests for
general operating support, project support, seed money, and matching grants will be
considered.
Economic Development Grants
This program is focused on Economic Development Institutions (EDIs). EDIs typically are
community-based organizations and businesses. They create good jobs and just
workplaces, and they develop assets for low-income people that are owned by families and
communities. EDIs coincide with the CCHD mission by their commitment to the development
of low-income people. All EDIs have structures that promote low-income leadership and
ownership.

not necessarily profit-making after two to five years.
Organizations promoting community concern for environmental quality, better living
or working conditions, affordable housing, and housing assistance.
Community-based social relief and human services organizations providing health
care, family planning, vocational training, drug and alcohol counseling, food pantry
services, shelter and support for the homeless and abused, and nutritional
education.
Three types of grants are available:
Long-term projects that establish much needed new institutions and activities within
the context of existing communities (funding is annual but commitments in this
category will be for three to five years with ongoing evaluation and support).
One-year grants to organizations facing short-term challenges, or to extend the
period of grants in the first category by an additional year.

The Endangered Language Fund (ELF) was founded ten (10) years ago with the goal of
supporting endangered language preservation and documentation projects. Their main
mechanism for supporting work on endangered languages has been funding grants to
individuals, tribes, and museums. ELF’s 97 grants have promoted work in over 30 countries
and have seen a wide range of projects, from the development indigenous radio programs in
South Dakota, to recording of the last living oral historian of the Shor language of western
Siberia, to the establishment of orthographies and literacy materials to be used by
endangered language teaching programs all over the world.
The Endangered Language Fund provides grants for language maintenance and linguistic
field work. The work most likely to be funded is that which serves both the native community
and the field of linguistics. Work which has immediate applicability to one group and more
distant application to the other will also be considered. Publishing subventions are a low
priority, although they will be considered. Proposals can originate in any country. The
language involved must be in danger of disappearing within a generation or two.
Endangerment is a continuum, and the location on the continuum is one factor in our
funding decisions.

Human and Community Development
This program addresses issues in the United States that include community and economic
development; housing, with a focus on the preservation of affordable rental housing; juvenile
justice reform; and education, with an emerging interest in how digital media impact
learning.
Global Security and Sustainability
This program focuses on international issues, including human rights and international
justice, peace and security, conservation and sustainable development, higher education,
migration, and population and reproductive health.
General Program
Through this program, the Foundation undertakes multi-year funding initiatives in changing
areas of special interest, makes grants responding to unusual opportunities that advance
the broad purposes of the Foundation but do not fall within the areas addressed by its two
topical programs, supports efforts to improve and diversify television and radio, and funds
arts and cultural organizations in the Chicago region.
MacArthur Fellows Program
This program awards five-year, $500,000 unrestricted fellowships to individuals across all
ages and fields who show exceptional merit and promise of continued and enhanced
creative work. The fellowships are intended to encourage people of outstanding talent to
pursue their own creative, intellectual, and professional inclinations. Fellowships are
awarded directly to individuals rather than through institutions. Recipients may be writers,
scientists, artists, social scientists, humanists, teachers, entrepreneurs, or workers in other
fields, with or without institutional affiliations. This program does not accept applications or
unsolicited nominations.
MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions
Expanding on its tradition of encouraging individual creativity and building effective
institutions to help address some of the world’s most challenging problems, the Foundation
selects a group of small nonprofit organizations around the world for this award each year.
Winners are awarded up to $500,000. This program does not accept applications or
unsolicited nominations.
The Foundation also makes Program-Related Investments (PRI) that supports its goals.
Used primarily in the program on Human and Community Development, most PRIs support
U.S.-based community development financial institutions (CDFI), organizations that provide
financial services and products to people and communities that are underserved,
economically disadvantaged, or distressed. The Foundation's PRI program currently has two
priorities: reviewing existing CDFI borrowers with PRI loans near maturity and investing in
affordable housing preservation through its Window of Opportunity: Preserving Affordable
Rental Housing initiative. Concomitant with the CDFI review, the Foundation is not
considering new requests for PRIs for US-based CDFIs.

throughout the United States. The Foundation works to build stronger nonprofit
organizations—catalyzing their growth, helping them connect with their stakeholders, and

programming on capital campaigns as a key opportunity for nonprofit growth. Grants support
a range of organizations reflecting almost the entire breadth of the nonprofit sector.
The Foundation primarily makes challenge grants for Capital Challenge Grant Program. The
program is designed to support an organization’s immediate capital needs and to build its
capacity to raise private support for the future. Grants are given for building construction or
renovation, the purchase of real estate and the purchase of major equipment at a cost of at
least $300,000. An organization applies to the Foundation after it has recruited campaign
volunteers, secured leadership gifts, and developed firm project costs. It is an ―all or nothing‖
challenge and is usually one-third to one-fifth of the amount an organization has to raise to
complete its campaign goal.

The National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) is a nonprofit foundation dedicated
to helping individual Americans acquire the information and gain the skills necessary to take
control of their financial lives. NEFE accomplishes its mission by partnering with other
concerned organizations to provide financial education to members of the public—in
particular, to underserved individuals whose financial education issues are not being
addressed by others. NEFE's outreach efforts are structured around four distinct areas:
Education Programs: as typified by the long-standing High School Financial Planning
Program.
Collaborative Programs: NEFE partners with other nonprofit organizations to develop
financial materials for segments of the public in special circumstances.
Multimedia Access: NEFE developed basic personal finance information distributed
through various channels, such as the Foundation's website.
Innovative Thinking: The NEFE Fellows Program, and the NEFE Grants Program.
The grants program seeks innovative research and research-based development projects
that can make a profound contribution to the field of financial literacy. Project outcomes
should be actionable, in the field of financial literacy, directly relevant to the financial well-
being of the public, and have the ability to be applied broadly. NEFE is also interested in
providing support for projects that are responsive to its ongoing Initiatives, in particular, its
two newest Initiatives:
To expand the financial literacy body of knowledge through research in support of
developing a discipline that prepares educators and other intermediaries to improve
the financial well-being of the public; and,
To support proactive research of consumer, social, and business trends; underlying
assumptions; attitudes; root causes; and related facets of financial well-being whose
outcomes achieve innovative and actionable financial education solutions.

The primary goal of the Public Welfare Foundation is to address human needs in
disadvantaged communities. The Foundation's grant-making strongly emphasizes support
for organizations that include service, advocacy, or empowerment in their approach, with
particular interest in efforts that combine two or all three of these elements. Service is vital to
remedy specific problems, with successful service programs often being the catalyst for
more widespread action through advocacy. Advocacy addresses those specific problems in
a systemic way through changes in public policy at the local, state, national, or international
levels to enhance and broaden the impact of the Foundation's grant-making. Empowerment
encourages and enables people in need to play leading roles in achieving policy changes
and in remedying specific problems.
The Public Welfare Foundation is dedicated to supporting organizations that provide
services to disadvantaged populations and work for lasting improvements in the delivery of
services that meet basic human needs. Organizations are also supported that link their
community and local work to other efforts to effect broader public policy change. The
Foundation provides both general support and project-specific grants. The majority of grants
are for general support. The Foundation's funding priorities include:
Community Development Human Rights and Global Security

The Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference (SWAMC) is a non-profit regional economic
development organization for Southwest Alaska. SWAMC serves three sub-regions of
Southwest Alaska: the Aleutian/Pribilofs, Bristol Bay, and Kodiak.
SWAMC was formed out of the common interests of the region encompassing the Aleutians
East Borough, the Aleutians West Census Area, the Bristol Bay Borough, the Dillingham
Census Area, the Kodiak Island Borough, and the Lake & Peninsula Borough. In 1988,
municipal leaders from the region forged a partnership to advocate for the needs of rural
communities and the responsible development of the region's core economic sector -
commercial seafood harvesting and processing.

Eligibility: Eligibility is restricted by law to Federally-recognized Indian Tribes in the lower
48 states and to the designated 12 Alaska Native regional nonprofit associations and the
Metlakatla Indian Community in Alaska.
Purpose: In 1996 the 104th Congress amended the Social Security Act, by replacing Aid to
Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), the Job Opportunity and Basic Skills Program
(JOBS), and Emergency Assistance (EA) with block grants to States for the Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. Included in the authorization for this new
block grant system were provisions for block grants to eligible Tribes. Federally-recognized
Indian Tribes and certain Alaska Native organizations are now provided the opportunity to
administer their own TANF programs in a manner similar to the States. The purpose of the
new law is to support programs designed to provide assistance to needy families so that
children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives; reduce
dependency on public benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage; prevent
and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies; and encourage the formation and
maintenance of two-parent families.

Eligibility: Eligible grantees include community-based nonprofits and State, local and
Tribal government agencies and others, such as community development financial
institutions and credit unions.
Purpose and Activities: Asset building is an anti-poverty strategy that helps low-income
people move toward greater self-sufficiency by accumulating savings and purchasing long-
term assets. The theory behind this approach is that helping people purchase an asset, as
opposed to simply increasing their income, provides stability that may allow them to escape
the cycle of poverty permanently. Examples of long-term assets include a home, higher
education and training, and a business.
Types of Support: Assets for Independence (AFI) provides five-year grants to
organizations and agencies that enable low-income individuals and families to achieve
economic self-sufficiency by accumulating economic assets. Grantees provide financial
literacy training to participants and help them save earned income in special matched bank
accounts called Individual Development Accounts (IDAs). IDAs enable low-income and low-
wealth families to accumulate savings for long-term assets such as a home, a business, or
higher education and training.

Purpose and Eligibility: With an annual budget of more than $7 billion, the Children's
Bureau works with States, Tribes, and communities to develop programs to assist America's
children and their families. The Children's Bureau awards funds to both States and Tribes on
a formula basis and to individual organizations that successfully apply for discretionary
funds.
Types of Support: Under the Community-Based Grants for the Prevention of Child Abuse
and Neglect (formerly the Community-Based Family Resource and Support (CBFRS)
program and now administratively known as the Community-Based Child Abuse
Prevention Grants (CBCAP)), discretionary grants may be awarded to selected Indian
tribes, tribal organizations, and migrant programs to develop linkages with the statewide
CBCAP program and/or to provide services otherwise consistent with the purposes of the
CBCAP. These funds must support more effective and comprehensive child abuse
prevention activities and family support services, including an emphasis on strengthening
marriages and reaching out to fathers, that will enhance the lives and ensure the safety and
well-being of migrant and Native American children and their families. In FY 2002,
approximately $1.3M in discretionary funds were awarded to support community-based
prevention programs for Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and migrant programs. This
discretionary grant program also supports a national resource center, "FRIENDS‖, to assist
CBCAP lead agencies for the Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention grants with the
development and evaluation of their programs and activities.

Mission
Head Start is a national program that promotes school readiness by enhancing the social
and cognitive development of children through the provision of educational, health,
nutritional, social and other services to enrolled children and families.
Program Description
The Head Start program provides grants to local public and private non-profit and for-profit
agencies to provide comprehensive child development services to economically
disadvantaged children and families, with a special focus on helping preschoolers develop
the early reading and math skills they need to be successful in school. In FY 1995, the Early
Head Start program was established to serve children from birth to three years of age in
recognition of the mounting evidence that the earliest years matter a great deal to children's
growth and development.
Head Start programs promote school readiness by enhancing the social and cognitive
development of children through the provision of educational, health, nutritional, social and
other services to enrolled children and families. They engage parents in their children's
learning and help them in making progress toward their educational, literacy and
employment goals. Significant emphasis is placed on the involvement of parents in the
administration of local Head Start programs.

Eligibility: Eligible applicants are federally recognized Indian Tribes, Alaska Native
Corporations, and Native Hawaiian organizations.
Purpose and Activities: The National Park Service (NPS) Tribal Preservation Program
assists Indian tribes in preserving their historic properties and cultural traditions. The
program originated in 1990, when Congress directed NPS to study and report on
preservation funding needs. The findings of that report, the Keepers of the Treasures--
Protecting Historic Properties and Cultural Traditions on Indian Lands, are the foundation of
the Tribal Preservation Program. Based on that report, Congress has appropriated annual
grants for tribal preservation.
The Tribal Preservation Program is dedicated to working with Indian tribes, Alaska Native
Groups, Native Hawaiians, and national organizations, to preserve and protect resources
and traditions that are of importance to Native Americans. Given the limited funding levels of
the program, its main purpose is to help tribes strengthen their capabilities for operating
sustainable preservation programs. Projects that provide training for tribal members and
have a lasting impact on the tribe are given the highest priority in the funding process.
Types of Support: The grant awards of the tribal preservation program provide much
needed assistance to Indian communities interested in protecting their cultural heritage. The
federal grant funds used for these preservation projects are often leveraged with tribal and
private funds in cooperative projects that benefit tribal, National Park, and non-profit groups
simultaneously.
