about the federation

What do we mean by federation? The Alaska Community Share federation is made up of local charities that have come together to collaborate and to raise funds as a group by work-place giving.

Each year individual charities submit application materials that:

  • Verify their continued non-profit status, as determined by the Internal Revenue Service;
  • Demonstrate their financial accountability through an audit or other appropriate review;
  • Highlight the work the charity has done in the community for the previous year (annual report, press releases, etc.);
  • Verify a continued presence in Alaska;
  • Verify appropriate registration and reporting procedures with state and local governments;
  • Ensure the charities federated with Alaska Community Share maintain a set of common values, such as inclusiveness, community engagement, respect for stakeholders, and responsibility.
