Applications are being accepted by the Holland America Line and Princess Cruises Community Advisory Boards (CABs) for grants to local service and nonprofit groups in six communities within Alaska and Canada: Juneau, Ketchikan, Fairbanks, Sitka, Seward and the Yukon.
The CABs consists of civic and business leaders who advise Holland America and Princess on local corporate contributions and community involvement projects. Each CAB distributes corporate grants twice annually and prefers to provide support for projects that will benefit the community as a whole. Funding for special projects or occasion is favored over general operating expenses and travel. Grant requests between $200 and $2,000 have the best chance of being funded. The CABs plan on awarding grant applications in mid to late April, 2016.
Applications for Spring 2016 are due in Anchorage by Tuesday, March 1 and should be mailed or emailed to Allison Hovanec at AHovanec@HollandAmerica-Princess.com or Holland America Line, Inc. & Princess Cruises 745 W. 4th Avenue Suite 400, Anchorage, Alaska 99501.
For more information on the Holland America/Princess Community Relations Program within the state of Alaska and the Yukon, or to request an application electronically, contact Hovanec at (907) 264-8043.
