GCI opened its doors for business in 1979 and has been serving Alaskans with home phone, TV, internet and mobile service ever since. But GCI is more than just Alaska's technology leader, we are a company founded and operated by Alaskans. We are committed to being a good neighbor and supporting our local communities. Over the past 5 years, GCI has donated more than $10 million in cash, products, scholarships, and grants to Alaska organizations. GCI also provides employees with 16 hours of paid leave to volunteer with local organizations. In 2018, more than 650 employees volunteered nearly 8,200 hours.
Guidelines
We accept requests for cash and in-kind donations (technology products or service) for 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Limited resources necessitate focused giving in our communities, and support is generally granted on an annual basis.
To be considered, please apply 60 days prior to your requested date for funding. Requests received less than 60 days in advance may be reviewed upon special consideration.
Requests that are not eligible:
Groups that discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, alienage or citizenship status, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, disability, protected veteran status, genetic information, or any other basis protected by applicable law.
To prevent any conflict of interest issues, GCI generally does not donate to agencies or organizations that are mandated to engage in a competitive contract process for telecommunications services.
Who May Apply
Tax exempt, nonprofit organizations are eligible for support.
How to Apply
A contributions request form must be filled out in its entirety. You may also provide a copy of your organization’s IRS 501(c)(3) status, a list of the event's sponsorship levels and benefits, and other information relevant to your request.
