Nina Kemppel: The importance of giving through Pick.Click.Give.Nina Kemppel

The next several days are critical for hundreds of nonprofits across Alaska. Many Alaskans choose to donate a portion of their Alaska Permanent Fund to help a cause they care about and help support these nonprofit organizations that serve our local communities. The Alaska Community Foundation and the Rasmuson Foundation are offering three $5,000 bonuses to the top participating nonprofits who increase their donations from the previous year as well as providing a $1,000 bonus to the new nonprofit that raises the most donations in this year’s Pick.Click.Give. Some groups support education for our children.

These nonprofit groups make our Alaska communities more vibrant, engaging, and caring places for residents. If you have a favorite local nonprofit group, there’s a good chance you can donate to them as one of the 640 nonprofits in the Pick.Click.Give.
