The Jessica Stevens Community Foundation has announced the local nonprofits that will receive funds under its Health Communities grant program.
Each year, the foundation awards grants to organizations in the Northern Susitna Valley that focus on areas including basic needs, health, arts, education, and the environment. Grant funds are generated by an endowment through the umbrella of the Alaska Community Foundation.
This year’s grant recipients are Denali Arts Council, Denali Nordic Ski Club, Gateway to the Arctic, Sunshine Community Health
Center, Sunshine Station Childcare, Susitna River Coalition, Talkeetna Community Radio, Talkeetna Elementary School PTA, Talkeetna Historical Society, Trapper Creek Community Services, which operates the free box, and Trapper Creek Elementary School PTA.
The grants total $15,000 and are in addition to special grants for COVID-19 relief that were given to the Upper Susitna Food Pantry and KTNA this spring.
