The Homer Foundation has a long track record of supporting capital projects that make important and lasting investments in our community.
Money stays in the community, and there is nothing better than attending an event the foundation helped happen or driving by and seeing a new project up and running because of Homer Foundation support.
We love Homer, and we're so grateful to the community that has supported our family all these years. We want to give back, especially by helping young families the way we were helped.
At a time when our culture often focuses on 'me' rather than the collective, I wanted to help shift the mindset toward what we can build together.

Students in the Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) program reviewed nonprofit applications and awarded $20,000 to local organizations supporting food security, housing, and early childhood services on the southern Kenai Peninsula.
