TCF Grants:
Supporting Alaska Native
Education and Heritage

At The CIRI Foundation, we are committed to empowering the educational and cultural aspirations of Alaska Native people. Our grant programs honor the traditions of Alaska Natives from the Cook Inlet region, fostering projects that deepen public understanding and appreciation of our vibrant cultural heritage.

Grant Opportunities

Since the launch of TCF’s Education and Heritage Project Grant Program, we’ve awarded over $4.1 million to nonprofit organizations with projects that align with our mission. These grants support initiatives benefiting Alaska Native communities and Alaskans, advancing cultural preservation and education.

Program Updates

As we continue to enhance our support, TCF’s Education and Heritage grant programming is undergoing an audit to determine future funding opportunities. While new deadlines are yet to be determined, we welcome you to contact our Cultural Grants Manager, Kahoney Monsen, to discuss your project ideas at any time.
