Due to the earthquake on Nov. 30 and the subsequent damage to The CIRI Foundation’s (TCF) office in the Nat’uh building, TCF has established a temporary office space on the first floor at CIRI’s Fireweed Business Center located at 725 E. Fireweed Lane Anchorage, Alaska 99503. TCF will remain in the Fireweed Business Center until further notice. TCF is actively seeking a longer term office space.
TCF has limited and basic operations in a first floor conference room. TCF has remote access to our email, online application system and TCF’s main phone line. We ask for your patience with us as we work to assist you under challenging circumstances.
At this time, TCF is not set up to easily assist applicants/visitors in-person. Email is the best way to connect with TCF and our team. While our main line, 907-793-3575, is working — we are operating with only one phone at this time.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Project Grant Funding Opportunities
Start with the goals of each program, and consider whether your project will impact the beneficiaries of The CIRI Foundation (CIRI original enrollees and their direct lineal descendants) or Alaska Native people
more generally.
Your organization may be eligible to apply for more than one grant program.
The Alaska State Council on the Arts, in partnership with The CIRI Foundation, is pleased to provide the Alaska Native Artist Resource Workbook to assist Alaska Native artists in furthering their artistic careers. Please contact ASCA for more information about the workbook and upcoming artists professional development workshops scheduled across the state.
The purpose of this Grant Writing Handbook is to offer suggestions and clarify the process of writing a grant proposal for arts funding. It is adapted from the First Peoples’ Cultural Council of British Columbia to provide information and resources specific to Alaskan artists. We are grateful for this partnership enabling us to increase our resources to perpetuate and promote the unique artistic and cultural traditions of Alaska Native peoples!
