As your state nonprofit association, we are here to provide resources to strengthen your organization.
Alaska’s nonprofit sector represents various organizations that provide public service and impact the lives of nearly everyone living in and visiting the state. Although most Alaskans do not think of nonprofits as an economic powerhouse, they play a critical role in the state’s economy as employers and revenue generators. Alaska’s lack of a county government system means that nonprofits provide services traditionally filled by the government to keep our people and our places safe, healthy, and vibrant.
No industry in Alaska can prosper without the nonprofit sector, and every dollar invested in the sector, regardless of the source, results in lower government costs in the long run. We provide both a financial and social return on investment by leveraging public and private resources. We are part of the healthcare, utilities, fisheries, and oil and gas industries and provide essential services such as firefighting, early childcare, housing, and food security — just to name a few. We are Alaska’s safety net.
