About the Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation (MSTPF): In 2024, the Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation awarded more than $450,000 in grants to nine local organizations. In addition to its grantmaking program, the foundation works with land managers, including Alaska State Parks, to apply for, manage and match federal and foundation grants. These projects leverage community donations to generate million-dollar investments in the Mat-Su, such as the Curry Ridge Connector Project and the preservation of Independence Mine State Historical Park.
To date, the foundation has invested more than $2.35 million in grants across the Mat-Su Borough. Over the next five years, the foundation plans to invest an additional $2.5 million to develop sustainable trails and regional parks.
