“Like a healthy watershed, the Seacoast Trust doesn’t just store resources; it ensures these resources flow where needed, when needed, at the pace of healing rather than harm. The money moves slowly, intentionally, creating a constructive alternative for communities independent of any political or philanthropic shift that may occur,” Shaelene Grace Moler, SSP Communications Catalyst, in the 2025 Seacoast Trust Annual Reportand “Speed of Trust.”

Grounded in Indigenous values and self-determination, the Seacoast Trust represents a long-overdue shift in finance that prioritizes both people and place in Southeast Alaska. By shifting power and resources directly to local communities, the Seacoast Trustsupports a future where ecological stewardship and economic prosperity go hand-in-hand.

We are deeply grateful to our partners and supporters who make this work possible. We invite you to read more in the Seacoast Trust Annual Report, where we share about the progress we’ve made and the opportunities ahead. Read more.
