To quote Robin Samuelsen CEO of BBEDC, “Our most important resource in rural Alaska is our people. To strengthen the fabric of community life through the support of positive and healthy activities is a key component to the survival and well-being of these communities. Many community efforts to provide the best possible opportunities for our families require financial support that is often difficult to find. These Alaskan Leader Foundation grants help provide the hope and community interaction necessary in facing the challenge of life in rural Alaska.”
