The Jessica Stevens Community Foundation formed in 2008 as an Affiliate of The Alaska Community Foundation. Since our inception, we have focused on growing the Jessica Stevens Community Foundation Fund – an unrestricted, permanently endowed fund, that allows the most flexibility to determine how best to meet current and future community needs in the Northern Susitna Valley. The funds listed below are advised upon by the Jessica Stevens Community Foundation advisory board.
Donations to any of the available funds below can be given in memory of a departed loved one, or to celebrate a friend, family member or special event. After you click Donate, you will have the option of entering Tribute Information.
2024 Match Goal is $20,000
In 2024, gifts to the General Foundation fund and the Operating Endowment fund are eligible for The Alaska Community Foundation and Rasmuson Foundation 1:1 match.
Jessica Stevens Community Foundation (General) Fund
This is our flagship granting endowment fund. The earnings from this endowment are used to award grants through a competitive grant cycle to local qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits. This flexible endowment meets the current needs of our community as they arise. These needs may address any number of issues, such as: social services, hunger, education, arts, and humanities, environmental, and youth services. As this endowment grows, so does our ability to support causes that Alaskans care about.
