The Daniel Bunker Memorial Fund honors a life of service and generosity by supporting projects that bring people together, encourage active living, and strengthen community connections.
The Daniel Bunker Memorial Fund was created to lovingly honor the life of Daniel G. Bunker (1975-2025) a devoted member of our community who’s life was marked by service, generosity and care for others. From the Homer Volunteer Fire Department and local elementary school to the Boy Scouts and many quiet acts of kindness, Daniel was the kind of person who showed up.
Gifts to this fund will support memorial projects in his honor that can be used and enjoyed by all, with the hope of fostering connection to the outdoors, active living, and, most importantly, to one another.
As an Acorn fund this fund is currently welcoming gifts.

The Homer Foundation is grateful for the many generous donors who supported our work over the past year. Every gift, whether large or small, helps strengthen our community and makes it possible to support local nonprofits, students, families, and causes across the southern Kenai Peninsula.
For some households in our community, a broken stove, an overdue utility bill, or an expired license can quickly spiral into a major problem. 100 Women Who Care is helping replenish this important community resource and provide timely assistance to local families facing unexpected expenses.

This month, the Homer Foundation welcomed three new funds supporting important work across our community. The Skip Utter Book Fund, The Homer Independent Press Agency Stewardship Fund, and the Margaret & Ivan KBay Recovery Connection Fund.
Life gets busy, but giving doesn’t have to be one more thing to remember. See how one donor’s $20 monthly gift has made a lasting impact over 20 years.
