Nonprofits in Alaska

The Alaska SeaLife Center is a unique organization that provides a center point for marine eduation and learning. It has unique exibits that thrill both in-state and out-of-state visitors and is a cornerstone for the commuity in Seward. There is a tremendous value to having such organizations revitalize the public's interest in the wonders of the ocean and the promotion of ecosystem conservation.

Youth court is a fun and interactive way to learn about the justice system and at the same time helping to get kids who made a mistake back on their feet. The entire courtroom is youths (attorneys, judges, clerks) but the youth court has real attorneys to teach the training and appear in court with you in case there is some kind of problem that can't be resolved easily. The youth court is an amazing program that I strongly encourage anyone and everyone to try and get involved with.

I have spent the last 20 years working in this organization and the passion that all the staff at The Arc of Anchorage bring to their work continues to be inspiring. They truly work every day to embody our core value of Respect, Integrity, and Joy. Its a pleasurer to work here and see all the accomplishments of the people served. Thank you to all.

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to let me interview you. You definitely gave me some great information that I incorporated in my paper. I am so glad I picked this organization to write about for my English paper. Domestic violence and assault are big issues in this country and "'m so glad to have learned that there are people like and you and many others that help support and prevent this issue. Again, thank you for all your help! <br>Sincerely, <br>

Been a proud volunteer and donor for the past 3 years. The food bank does incredible work. It’s clear how much heart from the employees and other volunteers goes into the mission.

As a board member for Hospice of the Central Peninsula, I can say our programs are great services to those living on the Central Kenai Peninsula. From the loan closet, to active direct care, to our Camp Mend-A-Heart program for youth, we strive to provide both a compassionate shoulder and ear to the end-of-life transition, grief and bereavement process.

In need of blankets or Alaskan native art or beadwork for potluck. Does your organization help family's in need?

Friends of Girdwood Tennis Courts recognize the importance this non-profit plays in raising healthy children in our community. The "Little Bears" play daily on the tennis courts adjacent to their daycare facility. Unfortunately 30 years of neglect have left these courts in total disrepair with major sink holes, frost heaves and extensive cracking. Once a great place for kids to ride trikes and learn to ride bikes or skate, this public facilities poor state of disrepair makes playing in this space a challenge. We support Little Bears need for safe and secure places for kids to exercise outdoors and hope that our combined efforts will help achieve our common goal of repairing the valuable public facility so kids of Girdwood can again play here safely.

We are asking grace upon us and provide few grants. <br>

Over 50% of their expenses are related to management or fundraising? It doesn't surprise me. Seems like they are always seeking funds from the public on their mailing list. They have a great purpose but they need to learn how to much more effectively market and fundraise. Right now under 50% of expenses for program expenses is extremely low. <br>

Juneau is a community with many creative artists. The Juneau Arts and Humanities Council (JAHC)also associated with the Juneau Arts and Culture Center (JACC) serves all aspects of the community, with an art gallery, music, dance, and many community events inlcuding a community market that helps small businesses, like a rhubarb ice cream, or fresh baked bread, or home made jams made from wild berries and its largest fundraiser, the Wearable Art event which sells out every year. Money from events are turned around to support the community form of art scholarships and sponsorship to bring a variety of arts events into Juneau and support for the arts. This truly is a community inspired. Its website is also a clearinghouse for knowing of any kind of community and art events going on in the community. We couldn't have a better arts organization that truly answers to all aspects of the arts in Juneau. And incredibly, it has a very small staff, supported by many volunteers. Its amazing. Juneau would not be the same place without JAHC and the JACC!

In my many years of association with Alaska World Affairs Council I have seen and participated in many of the Council's weekly programs. The programs really "Bring the World to Alaska." Guests and members alike come from all age groups and professions to hear personally what guest speakers discuss on a broad range of international and national topics. The Council has developed a strong and widely accepted student participation program and most of the schools in the Anchorage School District participate. The Council's World Quest competitions have been outstanding and produced some very knowledge winners. The goals of the Council incorporate both learning and listening to the world around us. The speaker's list has been impressive and has included presidents from other countries, ambassadors, politicians, successful business leaders all highly qualified in their professions or area of expertise. The Council itself is an active enthusiastic group of residients who truly believe in what they do. And what they do as volunteers is energic, active and meaningful in producing one of the best World Affairs programs in the U.S. This Council is a major non-profit player in our community and contributes greatly to expanding knowledge and the quality of life.

Southcentral Foundation has accomplished so much for the health and well-being of Alaska native people. It has become a model for community based and customer driven healthcare in America. It's programs for the physical, mental, and spirtual well-being of the Southcentral Alaska native community have facilitated the implementation of programs that specifically address the social and medical concerns facing the population it serves. Family Wellness Warriors Initiative has implemented a plan to end the cycle of domestic violence, child abuse and child neglect in one generation. Denaa Yeets' is Southcentral Foundation's suicide prevention program, and the NUKA System of Care is being shared in the national and international medical community. <br> I personally have taken part in the Beauty for Ashes conference through Family Wellness Warriors Initiative and it has changed my perspective of myself, my family, and the path of my personal growth. <br>

I feel safe giving money to iOrphan. They contribute 100% to the cause and back up every donation with receipts and photos. They are the absolute best and care deeply for the children.

I became acquainted with Alaska's Tanana Valley at the age of 15, in 1992, as a member of World Horizons, a sort of "junior peace corps" for teenagers. I went back in the summer of 2007 and interned at another Fairbanks nonprofit, the Cultural Heritage and Education Institute. There, I tried to pull together an institutional collaboration with several local stakeholders, an effort that was unsuccessful due to a lack of overall resources, a charged political atmosphere, and a lack of trust or proven track record specifically with respect to one of the entities involved - me, the outsider in Indian Country, and the tiny one-man nonprofit that I interned for. Throughout that process, as I approached the Tanana Chiefs Conference and made my pitch, I was struck by how constructive their perspective was. I admire the Tanana Chiefs Conference for its organizational effectiveness in the Fairbanks community. From my vantage point, they are totally above board. Their staff carry out their mission with only the best of intentions for individuals, stakeholders, and the community at large. While that may sound obvious and easily taken for granted, Fairbanks is a complex environment and it can be very difficult to hold institutional collaborations together. In this environment, the Tanana Chiefs Conference has earned a reputation as a solid Partner, and an internally supportive place to work. And let's not forget impact. Their service to the community is fantastic from my perspective. Most of what they do is social, but there's also a huge and positive environmental impact. For example, they have their own GIS shop. And, they promote a sustainable value system. My only criticism relates to capacity, and it's more an understanding and a recognition than a true criticism. As wonderful a Partner as the Tanana Chiefs Conference can be, they are rarely in a position to say "yes" to an external initiative or new partnership. Most of their priorities are internal - they prioritize their core services and the existing demands on their infrastructure, and there seems to be little in the way of discretionary resources. Surely there's funding out there that would help them do more? Because they do it so well, and it's a shame that they're maxed out for lack of additional resources. Makes me wonder what other financing mechanisms might be available, particularly on the environmental side of things. All it takes is 10% of their existing capacity - just that amount would allow them to do more. Perhaps an organization that has a strong cross-cultural effectiveness and some credibility in this area could step in? Also, I wonder what is out there in the way of resources ranging from consulting to leadership retreats to training that would help them do more with what they already have, and do it even more effectively.
