THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Youth Camps, Outdoor Activities, Youth in Nature, Recreation, Alaska
Deadline: Mar. 24, 2022
“Rasmuson Foundation and The Alaska Community Foundation have partnered to provide support to 2022 camps and youth programming across Alaska. Camps and youth programming opportunities have been severely impacted by the pandemic, resulting in fewer campers/participants that can be accommodated, and increased costs associated with providing high-quality experiences for Alaskan youth.
The Camp Initiative prioritizes funding for organizations that are addressing the following key issues:
(1) Costs – scholarships/camperships to assist in a family’s ability to pay, or for rural camps that do not charge a fee, the ability to pay staff and/or increase the number of participants;
(2) Special expenses – may include traveling activity kits that reach youth who are unable to attend day or resident camps, increased transportation costs, or changes in program delivery; and
(3) Access to staff professional development and training for counselors.
Successful requests will focus on increasing the number of young people who have access to camp experiences and improving the quality of the camp experience.”
