We’re more than a grantmaker. We are an ally to our community, supporting ways to solve difficult problems and advocate for solutions that support healthy, thriving lives for everyone who lives here.

We provide more than 500 scholarships annually to Mat-Su residents interested in pursuing jobs in health and human services. By investing in our people, we can create a sustainable, homegrown healthcare system that meets the diverse needs of people living in the Mat-Su.
