The Koniag Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Anchorage, AK, dedicated to providing educational support and opportunities for the Alutiiq people. Over the past decade, they have awarded more than $2.2 million in scholarships and grants to help address the educational and financial needs of the Alutiiq community, particularly in rural areas. Through mentorships, internships, and networking, KEF aims to increase student retention rates and decrease dropout rates, while also facilitating opportunities for remote village students. By supporting recipients in pursuing education and employment, KEF not only improves the lives of individuals and their families but also contributes to the growth of the community's economy. With a diverse Board of Directors and efficient operations, KEF ensures that the majority of every dollar donated goes directly towards scholarships and services for students. Their commitment to mentorship sets them apart, as they understand that financial support alone may not be enough to achieve their goals. By providing guidance and support, KEF has significantly reduced dropout rates among Alaska Native students. Donors are encouraged to partner with KEF to develop programs that prepare and motivate students to continue their education, while also contributing to the growth of the organization's endowment to offer larger scholarships to an increasing number of students. As the costs of post-secondary education rise and traditional industries become less lucrative, KEF is dedicated to investing in the future of the Alutiiq people and their communities through their forward-thinking approach.Generated from the website
