the alaska community foundation :: 2008-2009 annual report it’s your life :: it’s your home :: Alaska :: Board of Directors’ Letter

“For the past 12 years, The Alaska Community Foundation has championed the idea that community engagement and philanthropy should be the cornerstone of our unique Alaska culture”.

Carla Beam, Board Member, Chairman of the Board, Anchorage

Dear Friends,

I came to Alaska 34 years ago, but long before then, I felt a connection. When I was little, in the days before DVDs, we had something called a Viewmaster. It was a miniature projector that allowed you to look at photographic slides embedded in little round cards that rotated through the device. My favorite card was of Alaska. I must have looked a thousand times at the photos of mountains, tundra, Native villages, and wildlife. I also heard the stories of my father and his buddies who came north to ski and climb. And grandpa Petersen fished Bristol Bay and the Bering Sea.

Alaska became my home the minute I stepped off the plane. The natural beauty was what I expected and more. What I didn’t expect was the sense of community I felt right from the start. In my time here, I’ve been given many opportunities, found wonderful friends, and had great adventures. I’ve been given a good life.

“Alaska became my home the minute I stepped off the plane. The natural beauty was what I expected and more. What I didn’t expect was the sense of community I felt right from the start.” Giving back to Alaska started early. At first, when I didn’t have much spare cash, I volunteered. As my income grew, I found myself writing checks to support things I felt were important. A few years ago, I began thinking about giving in a way that would provide long-term and lasting impact beyond my own lifetime. I also thought about how to join with others to create the kind of future we want to see for Alaska. Finally, with the recent passing of both my parents, I wanted a tangible way to honor them. As I work to accomplish these goals, The Alaska Community Foundation has become a natural home for my charitable dollars. It has options that will help me to do each of the things I want to do.

I invite you to learn more about The Alaska Community Foundation and how it is helping countless caring individuals and organizations to accomplish their philanthropic goals. Our door is always open and the coffee pot is on. Please call us or stop by anytime.

Sincerely,

Carla Beam, Chair of the Board of Directors

Toward Statewide Partnerships in Philanthropy

In 2008 and 2009, The Alaska Community Foundation and the Rasmuson Foundation continued a partnership with several communities to expand personal and family philanthropy across Alaska. The core of this initiative is the building of local charitable assets so programs valued by Alaskans will continue for years to come. As communities raise private dollars and make grants to their local nonprofits, we continue to welcome other communities that wish to get involved in exploring local community-based funds.

The communities at the core of the 2008-2009 Community Asset Building Initiative are:

This charitable fund is making grants already and is building a reserve that will be able to help nonprofits serve their communities through extraordinarily tough economic times. It can help groups providing Alaskans with food, housing, job assistance, utility assistance, prescriptions, and emergency cash.

Gifts to this fund are split into two parts – one for immediate grantmaking as needed, and the other for endowment, which will be a reserve for future hard times.

Alaska Disaster Recovery Fund

Earthquakes, volcanoes, floods – it really is tougher in Alaska. But often the numbers of people displaced and disrupted don’t add up to enough to bring in federal disaster funds. And after a disaster, many family needs can linger for years. The Alaska Disaster Recovery Fund is intended to help communities with long-term recovery after the worst is over. photo: Disaster recovery takes all of us working together.

Oscar Anderson House Fund

A young and adventurous immigrant landed in Anchorage in 1915. He built what is considered the first wood-frame house constructed in the area. Thousands of people visit the home each year to relive the days when people came from all over the world to the settlement along Cook Inlet that we now call Anchorage.

“In the late 1970s, an energetic group of historic preservation enthusiasts in Anchorage worked to save the building and move it to its present location along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.”
