About Us
Arctic Slope Community Foundation is a geographically based entity, tied to the Arctic Slope region, its eight communities and the people within those communities. The efforts of Arctic Slope Community Foundation are first directed toward raising a permanent charitable endowment consisting of an aggregation of funds from many different sources, large and small. Second, the community foundation serves in the role as grantmaker where thoughtful consideration is given by local leaders to meet challenges and opportunities within the region. Third, Arctic Slope Community Foundation is a champion for charitable organizations on the North Slope and leads initiatives in the true spirit of collaboration.
