The mission of the Alaska Innovation and Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Development Fund is to support programs and projects of 501c3 Not for Profit organizations that are collaborating in the advancement of innovation, entrepreneurship, mentorship, commercialization, leadership development and other complementary activities that will help diversify the Alaska economy. It is anticipated that this Fund will be a lead independent validator for other individuals and organizations to provide additional financial support for the vetted programs and projects that this fund has identified and reviewed.
The fund will restrict contributions to a maximum of $5,000.00 or 20 percent of a project/program costs, whichever is less. We intent to refer funded projects/programs to strategic partners that have expressed an interest in potentially participating as well.
