Youth Cultural Heritage Grant Program

The Youth Cultural Heritage Program (YCH), made possible by funding from Rasmuson Foundation and administered by the Alaska State Council on the Arts, is designed to support organizations and groups that deliver cultural heritage programming to children and youth in Alaska. As an initiative of the Alaska State Council on the Arts, the Youth Cultural Heritage program places emphasis on teaching and learning in and through culturally-specific art forms, relevant to communities of culture in Alaska. Alaska 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations, schools, units of state, local or tribal government proposing YCH Program-aligned activities are eligible to apply for funding and services through the Youth Cultural Heritage program. Note: YCH grantees are neither requested nor required to provide a waiver of sovereign immunity to apply for or receive grant funding from the Alaska State Council on the Arts.
