Working alongside vital regional partners like Chugachmiut, Chugach Regional Resources Commission, and the Chugach Heritage Foundation, CTS helps bridge gaps in services, infrastructure, and opportunity for Alaska Native communities—including unrecognized tribes and at-large shareholders.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, CTS serves as a collaborative platform to pursue grants and partnerships. Its early success includes securing a $1.2 million DOE grant for grid upgrades in Cordova and submitting over $50 million in recent funding proposals. Strategic partnerships support projects in food security, environmental justice, and cultural preservation.
Guided by a 19-member Regional Advisory Committee and supported by a new Center of Excellence, CTS focuses on three pillars: governance and operational capacity, service delivery, and long-term financial sustainability. Its five-year strategic plan emphasizes independence, growth, and equitable impact.
“Together, we’re creating impactful programs that strengthen our communities and honor our commitment to intergenerational prosperity,” said CTS President Katherine Carlton. Click here to download CTS informational brochure.
