ABOUT RURAL CAP
The RurAL CAP Foundation provides small grants for rural Alaska nonprofits to initiate and carry out important programs and services that may have difficulty finding funding elsewhere. We promote projects that have the potential to create long-lasting impacts– strengthening local culture, community development, youth leadership, healthy lifestyles and sharing traditional ways of knowing.
