Make an Impact with your PFD

Rather than participating in Pick.Click.Give., which charges a 7% coordination fee, we’re asking you to donate directly from your PFD this year. In the past, that fee has redirected over $14,000 away from our efforts to protect Cook Inlet | Tikahtnu.

Make an Impact with your PFD

— Loren Barrett

If you’ve already applied for your 2024 Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD), you might have noticed that Cook Inletkeeper is missing from the list of Pick.Click.Give. (PCG) organizations this year. We’re doing things a bit differently for 2024 to ensure your donations have the greatest possible impact.

Rather than participating in PCG, which charges a 7% coordination fee, we’re asking you to donate directly from your PFD this year. In the past, that fee has redirected over $14,000 away from our efforts to protect Cook Inlet | Tikahtnu. By donating directly, every cent of your contribution will support the vital work you care about.

We deeply appreciate all those who have given through PCG in previous years. It’s been an excellent way to connect with new supporters and make giving easy. However, this change means that your donations will now go even further in supporting the programs and initiatives you value.

To make it easy to remember, we’ll send out a reminder when the PFD direct deposit is set to arrive- though there is no reason to delay, you can always donate today by clicking the button below and know you’ve done your part to support the further protection of Cook Inlet.

With your continued support, we can keep up our vital work—whether it’s opposing the Pebble and Donlin Mine projects, protecting Critical Habitat Areas, gathering crucial data on salmon habitats, or fostering sustainable local food systems. We stand by the belief that policies protecting our home should be driven by science, data, and humanity.

Thank you for standing with us in this shared mission. We can achieve so much more together.

For 2024, you can donate directly at inletkeeper.org/donate or by mail at 3734 Ben Walters Ln., Homer, AK 99603.

A heartfelt thanks from all of us—staff, volunteers, supporters, and everyone who values the clean water and healthy habitats of Cook Inlet.

The new Action Plan identifies the highest priority actions for the next 10 years that will lead to greater protection of Alaska’s fish and wild salmon habitat from the impacts of thermal change. The keys to success will be continued collaboration and coordination among data collectors and to engage resource managers, who need to understand changing thermal patterns and the implications for freshwater resources to address our fisheries crisis.

Fast Tracking Johnson Tract

by | Jan 22, 2025 | , , ,

The Department of Interior and National Park Service canceled a public comment period on their draft resource analysis assessing a proposed easement for the haul road and port facility. The mine would use this infrastructure to transport ore through Lake Clark National Park & Preserve to Tuxedni Bay, where a deep water port would be constructed and the ore shipped out for processing. The blatant lack of public process, though legal in this particular case, is a clear indicator of what’s to come: an insider game of strong-arming to pressure regulators into rubber stamp permits as quickly as possible.
