Across Alaska, important stories are unfolding right now.

Stories that take time.

Stories that require trust.

Stories that help Alaskans understand the issues shaping their communities and the state we all call home.

That work doesn't happen by accident. It happens because people choose to invest in it.

As we bring our summer fundraising campaign to a close, we're asking you to make an investment in the Anchorage Daily News and in reporting that keeps Alaska connected, informed and accountable.

Every contribution helps support deeper reporting, more voices and the ability to pursue stories that matter to communities across our state.

We're just $1,000 away from reaching $10,000 in this campaign. Will you help us cross the finish line?

Your support today can help us reach that milestone—and be part of what comes next.

As we move toward the end of the year, we'll be sharing more about philanthropy at the Anchorage Daily News, the ways your support makes our work possible and how you can help invest in the future of news and information for Alaskans.

And if you believe in this work, we ask you to go one step further:

Be an Ambassador.

Share this campaign with friends, colleagues, and others who care about Alaska. A simple forward or conversation can expand the impact far beyond a single gift. This is how strong, community-supported reporting grows, person by person.

Here’s one example of why your support, and your voice as an Ambassador, matters right now: 

City to Anchorage’s homeless shelters: It’s finally time to get licensed

Five years after the Anchorage Assembly passed a law requiring homeless shelters to be licensed, municipal health department officials are moving forward with enforcing the requirement. The city’s goal was to improve standards and safety for shelter users, collect and share data on clients, ease tensions with neighbors and boost municipal oversight of the facilities. Many operators have complied, but others call the process burdensome and unnecessary.

If stories like this matter to you, now is the moment to act. Make an investment today to ensure this work continues. Reaching more communities. Asking hard questions. Keeping Alaskans informed.

Every gift, whether one-time or monthly, directly supports this reporting.

And if you believe in this mission, help us grow it, share this campaign and invite others to be part of it.

This work is happening now, and it continues because of you.
