At a special meeting this week, the City of Unalaska granted more than $1.34 million to nine local organizations through its community support program for the fiscal year 2022. That s less than a 3% increase from last year s funding, despite more than a 9% increase in the amount requested.
When Unalaska s nonprofits were granted funding from the city s community support program last year, they knew that funding was going to be crucial. At the time, they faced hunker down orders, mandated closures and a drastic drop in tourism due to the coronavirus pandemic.
What they may not have realized is the pandemic would still be taking harsh jabs at their revenue nearly a year later, when they returned to ask the city for funding again.

A Seattle seafood company issued an apology to the community of Unalaska after crew members from one of its vessels, at port in the island community, breached isolation protocols to visit a crowded local bar the evening of April 10.
The resulting widespread exposure forced the city to move from the medium to high coronavirus risk level after nearly a month and a half at the lower threshold. Dozens of locals who visited the Norwegian Rat Saloon have been asked to quarantine and test for the virus, if they haven t been vaccinated.
