SEATTLE (August 28, 2019) – The Western Alaska Community Grant Board (WACGB) of American
Seafoods, one of the nation’s largest harvesters of wild caught, sustainable and frozen-at-sea products,
today announced it is accepting applications for its Alaska community grant program from the following
regions: Kodiak Island, Aleutian and Pribilof Islands/Western Alaska Peninsula, Bristol Bay, Lower
Kuskokwim, Lower Yukon, and Norton Sound and regions north. The deadline to submit applications is
October 14, 2019.

Since 1997, American Seafoods has granted over $1.5 million to organizations and programs in Alaska
through its grant program.

“Our goal is to provide assistance and financial support to organizations that are making a real
difference in the communities where we operate,” said Inge Andreassen, president of American
Seafoods. “We look forward to continuing the American Seafoods Western Alaska Community Grant
Program for many years to come.”

This year, a total of $90,000 will be allocated by the American Seafoods WACGB to fund community
projects addressing issues such as food security and other pressing social needs. The majority of grant
awards will range from $1,000 to $7,500 each. The first round of grants totaling $45,000 were awarded
in April. The second round of grant recipients will be selected at the American Seafoods WACGB
meeting on October 30, 2019. For its second round of funding the amount available for grant awards is
$45,000.

Each proposal will be evaluated largely on the following criteria: the need in the community, project
benefits, the number of people who will benefit from the program, and the ability to garner matching
funding.
