About
The Homer Foundation is all about neighbors helping neighbors. We’re your local community foundation, connecting the generosity of individuals, families, and businesses with the needs of the lower Kenai Peninsula. Since 1991, we’ve invested gifts big and small so they can keep giving back year after year. To date, we’ve granted over $6 million to support everything from youth programs and education to arts, the environment, and essential community services.
Whether you live in Ninilchik, Nanwalek, or anywhere in between, the Homer Foundation is here to make sure the spirit of giving goes further and lasts forever. When you give through us, your contribution stays right here at home, making life better for our communities today and for generations to come.
How Pick.Click.Give. makes a difference
When you give to the Homer Foundation through Pick.Click.Give, your gift goes straight to work in our community. Because these gifts are unrestricted, they give us the flexibility to meet needs as they arise—whether that’s funding youth programs, supporting local nonprofits, caring for our environment, or helping neighbors through tough times.
Your donation enables us to respond quickly through our year-round grant programs, so when a local organization requests assistance, we can say “yes.” That might mean keeping a program running, launching a new idea, or stepping in when unexpected challenges pop up.
For example, your support has helped:
-Homer OPUS expand string music education to Chapman Elementary, making music accessible to more local youth.
-The Senior Meals Program in Seldovia, ensuring elders have access to nutritious meals and social connections.
-Kachemak Nordic Ski Club, with a $10,000 grant to build a new equipment shed at Baycrest ski trails, keeping a beloved community resource thriving.
-Project GRAD, providing Family Engagement Nights that strengthen bonds between students, families, and schools.
Every gift, no matter the size, helps strengthen the lower Kenai Peninsula. From Ninilchik to Nanwalek, your support ensures resources stay right here at home, making life better for our communities today and for generations to come.
Because of your Pick.Click.Give donations, we can say “yes” more often—to youth and education, to arts and culture, to conservation, to essential services, and to new ideas that strengthen our community. Your unrestricted gift is what makes it possible for us to meet today’s needs while building a stronger tomorrow.
