OUR FOUNDATIONS

Our traditional values of the Middle Kuskokwim teach us to help one another and to celebrate the success of our people. Those values guide our vision at TKC. Our nonprofit efforts through KEF, DGKEF, and TKC Fish Wheel provide channels for us to do just that. We continue to find innovative ways to break down barriers our Shareholders may face on their pathways to success.

The Kuskokwim Educational Foundation (KEF) offers a variety of scholarships to TKC Shareholders who are pursuing their education and career goals, whether students are attending a traditional post-secondary institution, vocational training, personal and professional development courses, or cultural learning opportunities.

The Donlin Gold Kuskokwim Education
Foundation (DGKEF) promotes education and vocational training for TKC Shareholders interested in the mining industry, along with expanded opportunities for mining related and
support industry training.

TKC Fish Wheel ’s mission is to bring opportunities of education and capacity building, stimulate sustainable economic growth, provide resources for cultural and traditional sharing of knowledge, and to foster community partnerships for the benefit of the
Middle Kuskokwim Tribes in the TKC Region.
