Make a Donation to the Annual Fund
The Alaska Community Foundation is your statewide public platform for philanthropy. Established in 1995, The Alaska Community Foundation (ACF) cultivates, celebrates, and sustains all forms of philanthropy to strengthen Alaska’s communities forever.
Make a Donation to the Alaska Fund
The Alaska Fund is a flexible endowment to meet the ever-changing needs of Alaska. While no one can predict what the future will hold, Alaskans can ensure that generations to come will have philanthropic resources to address emerging needs and opportunities. Now more than ever, nonprofits across the state need our support, and the Alaska Fund is an easy and efficient way to make a difference.
Ways to Give
Give a Secure Gift Online
The Alaska Community Foundation accepts secure credit card gifts online. By clicking the Donate Today buttons above, you can donate directly to the Annual Fund and the Alaska Fund which help The Alaska Community Foundation connect people who care with causes that matter.
Give from Your IRA
If you are 70 ½ or older, you can donate up to $105,000* annually via a Qualified Charitable Distribution from a traditional IRA to a charity such as ACF without incurring taxes today or estate and income taxes in the future. If you are 73, you can donate all or part of your required minimum distribution and save on taxes.
*The amount that donors can give to charity via a QCD will increase by a percentage in 2025 to account for inflation.
Make a Gift Though Stocks or Mutual Funds
You can transfer appreciated stock directly from your account to ours, saving you capital gains taxes. Please get in touch with ACF at info@alaskacf.org or call us at (907) 334.6700 for instructions.
Mail a Check
For the security of our donors and to avoid banking complications, all checks must be made payable to The Alaska Community Foundation or ACF with the fund name you wish to donate to in the memo field. Checks not made payable to The Alaska Community Foundation or ACF will be stamped “void” and returned to the donor. Mail to 3201 C Street, Suite 110, Anchorage, AK 99503.
To receive a deduction for the current year, postmark your check to The Alaska Community Foundation by December 31st. With checks and credit card gifts, you will earn a charitable income tax deduction of up to 60% of your adjusted gross income if you itemize. If you are not able to use all your deduction each year, you may be able to “carry forward” the unused portion of the deduction for up to five years.
