WE’RE IMPROVING OUR COMMUNITY BY COLLABORATING AND PARTNERING.
Alaskans deserve to achieve their potential. When people work together, opportunities develop. We focus our impact on three areas: financial security, a healthy community, and youth opportunity. Our program Alaska 211 supports them all—plus other areas.
Alaskans can succeed when they have stable homes and income that covers their basic needs. To ensure their success, we're providing resources that help people in our community build and maintain their financial stability.
A healthy person is better positioned to contribute to our community. Being able to receive healthcare makes people feel hopeful. To improve access, we're connecting Alaskans to free, confidential help to find their available options.
Our vision anticipates a future where every person can achieve their potential. Providing students with a good education makes that future possible. To realize our vision, we're seeking to end disparate outcomes for our community’s families.
Alaskans everywhere need help from time to time. To connect them with food, shelter, services, programs, assistance, healthcare, childcare, transportation, and much more, we're continuing to run Alaska 211—our one-stop statewide helpline.
Vibrant, Diverse Partnerships
We convene community members to address common goals. When we combine efforts, every Alaskan can thrive. Our community members’ commitment, engagement, and coordination strengthen our communities.
Community Informed
Our Community Impact Agenda is shaped by community input. It outlines our priorities and strategies to achieve them, beginning with building strong, financially secure families. We do this by increasing access to:
- Income, health, and housing supports.
- Education, training, and professional growth opportunities.
- Affordable, high-quality childcare and early learning.

Community Initiatives
Lasting impact happens when we work together. We’ve expanded and innovated our initiatives, and they’re grounded in community feedback. They help individuals and families stay housed, access health care and education, and navigate resources. More people will thrive.
Partner Investments
We offer grants to Anchorage-area nonprofits that do work related to our Agenda. These funds further efforts that help families build financial security and focus on the largest barriers. These low-barrier funds and donor designations are a true investment in our community.
Strategic Advocacy
Using our voices to support changes that remove barriers and create opportunities aids our efforts. From housing stability to early learning and income growth, families need effective solutions. Through advocacy, we’re showing our commitment to building a stronger community.
