What Is an Endowment and Why Is It So Powerful for Palmer?

PCF is excited to introduce our new Program Manager, Garie Cowles!

PCF supported the Forget-Me-Not Quilters of Alaska, a local chapter of Quilts of Valor, with a $1,000 grant to create and award two handcrafted quilts for veterans and active-duty service members living in Palmer.

Meet the newest advisory board member for PCF, Dylainie Nathlich!

PCF awarded Onward & Upward a $1,975 grant to purchase CPR training mannequins and materials that will help prepare young people and community members across the Mat-Su for emergency response and everyday readiness.

But what is a community foundation? And how is it really different than other non profits established to serve a region or a particular mission?

We're celebrating! Join us September 25, 2025 for live music, food, drinks, and inspiring stories.

PCF supported the Alaska Wildlife Alliance (AWA) with a $2,000 grant to design, produce, and install setback signage on Mat-Su Borough trails.
