Grant Writing Resources
Spotlight
Federal grant funding has become significantly less stable for Alaska nonprofits, Tribes, and municipalities. In response to federal funding cuts, many organizations have pivoted toward private and foundation funding, but competition for those dollars is intensifying rapidly. The practical imperative for Alaska grant writers is diversification: build relationships with Alaska-based community foundations, review existing federal grant agreements for termination clauses, and strengthen proposals to demonstrate organizational credibility and measurable outcomes.
Our Mission
The Alaska Grant Writing Network aims to help aspiring and practicing grant writers obtain the knowledge they need to write successful proposals.
About Us
The Alaska Grant Writing Network was founded in 2023 to help Alaskans locate funding opportunities, write better proposals, and collaborate with each other. The Network, which originated in the UAA Department of Writing, is a collaborative effort between faculty at the University of Alaska Anchorage, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and University of Alaska Southeast.
This website, the first phase of the Network, offers a range of grant writing resources, from lists of funders to open grant opportunities of interest to Alaskans to sample proposals, along with information on grant writing classes and workshops. Ultimately, the Network aims to establish a Community of Practice for grant writers in Alaska, with a newsletter and regular meetings. If you'd like to receive updates about our efforts, please sign up for our mailing list. We promise we won't spam you or share your information.
