Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Human Service Organizations, Human Services
Mission: Alaska Nannut Co-Management Council (ANCC) was established to represent the collective Alaska Native voice in polar bear co-management. ANCC is a Tribally-authorized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with membership consisting of the 15 tribes in Alaska that have traditionally harvested polar bears for subsistence. We work to ensure that: Alaska Native peoples are at the forefront of management decisions related to polar bears; subsistence users have a forum through which to coordinate Tribally-driven harvest management; and sustainability of the harvest and the health of polar bears and our communities are promoted effectively. October 2022 favorable determination letters were issued to ANCC verifying 501(c)(3) non-profit status. https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/details/
