American Seafoods' Community Advisory Board Is Now Accepting Grant Applications.

Applications due February 19

SEATTLE -- The Community Advisory Board (CAB) of American Seafoods Company today announced that it is accepting applications for its Alaska community grant program. The deadline to submit applications is February 19 in order to be considered for funding at its next meeting on February 28.

In 2007, the CAB will distribute $75,000 to organizations in Alaska through its community grant program. At the February meeting, approximately $30,000 will be awarded to various Alaskan community projects that tackle issues such as hunger, housing, safety, education, natural resources and cultural activities.

In December, the CAB awarded grants to a variety of programs, including the Akutan Volunteer Fire Department ($3,000); Bristol Bay Native Association Regional Food Bank ($4,000); St. Paul Department of Public Safety ($2,500); The Living-Room Ministry Community ($2,200); and the Hooper Bay Police Department ($1,500).

The CAB evaluates each funding request based upon the following criteria: how the funds will be used, need in the community, the intended benefits and who will benefit from the program, geographic area served, and availability of other matching funds.

Applications for the grant program are available online at www.americanseafoods.com, or by contacting Kim Lynch at [e-mail] or 206-256-2659. Completed applications should be returned to Lynch at American Seafoods using email, fax at 206-448-0202, or postal mail at 2025 1st Ave, Ste 900, Seattle, WA, 98121.
