I am a member of community committee which is writing a grant application from Admin. for Native American and Admin. for Children and Families. There are five women on the committee but I am doing the composition and financial portions. I have written grants before and had them awarded, however these were for less that $100,000. This grant is for between $150,000 and $500,100. Our goal is for twice this amount for 5 exercise areas and playgrounds in Ruby, as we have an alarming rising rate of Type 2 Diabetes among young adults through seniors. We have 6 possible grant application from which to fund our goal. Our weakest area is how to meet the financial organization for these large volume grants. We have our vendors and their projected costs. We need advice on how to establish a non-profit bank account; establish a credible payment system for construction work completed; and audit of accounts. Do you have a member willing to lend us a helping hand? Thank You for this opportunity, Hollie Ann Koyukuk

I am a parent and employee of Enep'ut Children's Center in Fairbanks. Enep'ut has been in operation since the early 1970's and has served many families as a trusted and safe child care facility. Currently Enep'ut is the last private non-profit childcare left in our community and is operating on minimal revenue. Our center could use the title as The One. With quickly aging equipment and building costs on the rise a little community spirit could go a long way in reviving this cherished treasure at the corner or two Fairbanks Streets. Currently Enep'ut serves over 40 children and houses over 10 staff members who work hard everyday. Help us grow stronger, enrich more families lives in our community and be The One!

First Book provides new books to children in need, addressing one of the most important factors affecting literacy – access to books. First Book has distributed more than 60 million books to disadvantaged children.
First Book-Anchorage was established in 2000. They support local literacy programs within the municipality of Anchorage through the distribution of new books to children, who for economic reasons, have limited access to books.

First Book is a great program.
