Thriving Communities Grants Program
The Thriving Communities Grants Program is made available by Rural Alaska Community Action Program, Inc., (RurAL CAP) with funding provided by the State of Alaska Department of Health COVID-19 Health Equity grant. The purpose of this grant program is to fund Alaska based organizations working to promote health equity and reduce disproportionate negative health outcomes, including impact of COVID-19, to populations that are medically underserved and at higher risk for poor health. These populations include BIPOC, low-income and rural communities, rural and historically underserved and marginalized communities.

Youth Development and Culture Grant Program
The purpose of the Youth Development and Culture Grant Program is to reduce the disproportionate number of minority youth who come into contact with the juvenile justice system. The Division of Juvenile Justice recognizes the need to collaborate and team with agencies that have the cultural knowledge, community connections and expertise to enhance and strengthen its work with Alaska Native youth, families and communities. The Youth Development and Culture Grant Program targets both a reduction in the disproportionate contact Alaska Native youth have with the juvenile justice system in Alaska, and an increase in the ability of the Alaska Native communities ultimately funded through this program to better develop and manage DHSS grant programs.
RurAL CAP requests proposals for community projects that are innovative and implement either culture activities/camps or youth leadership development.
RurAL CAP anticipates funding 8-12 projects of up to $16,000 per year, with no match required.
