Request a Donation

Eligibility

Chugach Alaska Corporation considers philanthropic requests from nonprofit organizations whose work aligns with our focus areas and addresses a clearly defined community need. Organizations may submit an inquiry through our contact page and should briefly describe their mission, the community served, the purpose of the request, and how it aligns with Chugach’s priorities.

Review Process

Chugach receives more requests than available funding allows. All inquiries are reviewed on a rolling basis and evaluated based on alignment, impact, and available resources. Due to the volume of requests, not all submissions will receive a response.

Employee Giving

At Chugach, giving back to our communities is woven into the fabric of our company culture.  

Employee-Nominated Donations 

Through our 12 Months of Giving program, employees at all levels can nominate nonprofits for Chugach donations throughout the year strengthening a culture of generosity, deepening our community connections, and empowering our workforce to support the causes they care about in the Chugach region and beyond.

Employee Volunteerism

Volunteerism is part of Chugach’s culture, with employees participating year-round in fundraisers and community events—from supporting local shelters and clean-up efforts to joining charity runs and walks—strengthening the communities we serve while bringing our core behaviors to life.
