About KEF

KEF was established to support TKC Shareholders, descendants and individuals with ties to the Kuskokwim region in 1981. The Kuskokwim region is defined as the villages of Lower Kalskag, Upper Kalskag, Aniak, Chuathbaluk, Napaimute, Crooked Creek, Georgetown, Red Devil, Sleetmute and Stony River. In 2017, the KEF Board of Directors narrowed the scope to only serve Shareholders, as TKC continues to grow the number of Shareholders by enrolling descendants. TKC Shareholders currently reside in-region, as well as throughout Alaska, the lower 48 and worldwide.

Help Fund our Future

The scholarships for our Shareholders are funded through a variety of individuals and organizations. TKC dedicates funds, as do many of the organizations identified under each scholarship.
