Cook Inletkeeper runs on your support, yes, your support. You help keep the lights on and the building warm; you help us keep an eye on developments in our state, region, and communities. We help keep our community keen with real stories, real science, and real research. 

All our people are real people; our directors are all caretakers of their communities, all our staff practice our principles, and our volunteers and community partners are highly involved with every aspect of our engagement. You help us do the good work. We thank you, who are committed to fighting the good fight, our most cherished friends and neighbors, no matter how much you give, or how you give, or even who you give to. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your hard work and support. 

Our communities, watershed, region, and state are all the better because of your contributions. Please, take a moment to reflect on how you have contributed to the betterment of our community and how your random acts of kindness can collectively change the world, one smile at a time.   

P.S. Pick.Click.Give. charitable contributions opened on January 1st. Donate a portion of your PFD to Cook Inletkeeper to accelerate Alaska’s transition to an equitable, decarbonized energy future. Add a pledge at pfd.alaska.gov
