Sitka Legacy Foundation supports local resiliency and self-reliance, now and forever. We are committed to maintaining Sitka as a vital and healthy place where people can live, work, raise families and retire.
To support our community, we promote individual, family and business philanthropy and provide grants to support local projects and organizations. We offer a local vehicle for residents and visitors to invest their time, talent and resources in helping Sitka thrive.
Sitka Legacy Foundation is building two long-term charitable endowments for our local community, an operating fund and a grantmaking fund. As of July 29, 2025, our fund balances total $1,294,473. These funds are professionally managed and protected by The Alaska Community Foundation. As they grow through investment income, bequests, and continued donations, our endowments will become an increasingly large resource to meet local needs.
Your donations to the Sitka Legacy Foundation endowments will:
- Support local non-profits in their missions to improve the lives of Sitkans in areas such as health, education, human services, arts and culture, youth services and community development.
- Leverage additional funds from Rasmuson Foundation and The Alaska Community Foundation, which offer challenge grants to SLF to encourage local giving. Your gifts help make us eligible for matching contributions to our endowments.
