In 2021, RACS president Prince Nwankudu told Anchorage Assembly members the grant would go towards repairing a large barn-like structure in South Anchorage, which the nonprofit was using as a makeshift food pantry.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A local nonprofit that has been under federal investigation for how it spent $750,000 in federal grant money remains silent about the group’s finances. Revive Alaska Community Services was awarded a $750,000 ARPA grant from the Municipality of Anchorage in December 2021.
Without Anchorage Assembly members’ approval, someone in Mayor Dave Bronson’s administration added language in RACS’s grant contract to allow the group the option of relocating. Alaska’s News Source began investigating this issue last November, shortly before Nwankudu was interviewed at the new church.
But Alaska’s News Source found that wasn’t verified by the grant’s contractor. The city contracted with Ken Miller’s company, Denali FSP, to manage ARPA grants. In his email from February 2023, Miller stated “I have not followed up with proof of match due to nature of potential Federal investigations.”
According to RACS’s grant contract, it’s required to use the money to open a food pantry in South Anchorage by the end of 2023.
