Rasmuson awards SVT funds for wellness center

Rasmuson Foundation's board of directors met in Anchorage last week and awarded more than $8 million in grants and investments for nonprofit projects in communities stretching from Ketchikan to Togiak.

The dollar amount of the awards is the highest since July 2008 and reflects a moderate rebound in assets available for new projects, according to a press release issued by the foundation Dec. 2.

On the Kenai Peninsula, the Seldovia Village Tribe was awarded $280,000 to construct a wellness center in Homer.
