We’re pleased to announce that Janel Hodge has been appointed Chief Financial Officer of the Alaska Community Foundation, effective October 19.

Janel has been part of ACF for eight years and brings 25 years of experience in accounting and finance. Her deep knowledge of ACF will provide continuity as she steps into this new role.

Janel succeeds Kevin Gray, who will remain with ACF through his planned retirement on December 31 to support a smooth transition.

Please join us in congratulating Janel on this well-deserved appointment! by @akcommunityfoundation

When Kevin Gray joined ACF in 2016, we managed $76 million in assets. Today that number is $300 million. When Elizabeth Miller arrived in 2019, she got to work building something lasting. Together they have given 17 years of exceptional service to ACF and to Alaska.

Today we are celebrating both of them.

Kevin will retire at the end of 2026 after 10 years as our CFO, nearly a third of ACF's entire life. Elizabeth will follow in spring 2027 after seven years as our VP of Development and Communications. Both decisions are theirs, made on their own terms, and both are well-earned.

ACF is built to be here in perpetuity, and what Kevin and Elizabeth helped create is now woven into everything this organization does. That is their legacy. We are proud of them, and grateful.

A phone. A prescription. A document fee. Small things — until they're the barrier between a neighbor and help. In Anchorage, The Good Neighbor Fund clears these everyday barriers, with 100% of every gift going straight to support. Since November, neighbors have given more than $187,000.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the people and organizations helping ensure every Alaskan has a place to belong.

The Fairbanks Queer Collective is creating spaces where LGBTQ+ youth and adults can build friendships, find support, share stories, and connect with their community. From youth gatherings and mutual aid to intergenerational storytelling, their work is a reminder that people build strong communities when people show up for one another.

With support from ACF’s Social Justice Fund, the Fairbanks Queer Collective continues expanding opportunities for connection, belonging, and community care across Fairbanks.

As one youth participant shared: "I now have some of the best friends I've had in my life."

When Alaskans invest in one another, belonging lasts — this Pride Month and every month.

For Alaska. Forever.

A student in a rural Alaskan community shadows a health aide in her village. Another learns to operate heavy equipment and finds out he's good at it. A third gets her first look at an airplane cockpit and decides that's where she's headed.

This is investment in Alaska’s future.

Through organizations like Alaska EXCEL, students across rural communities are getting hands-on, technical experience in careers needed most – and a reason to stay.

The Vocational Fund for Alaska's Future supports organizations like these that expand what’s possible for young people in Alaska and the regions they call home.

Summer in Alaska is here, and across the state, kids are spending their days exploring new places, making new friends, and creating memories that will last long after the season ends. And as the season kicks off, here is a look back at some memorable camp moments from last year.

These experiences are made possible by communities that invest in their young people and partners who support the Camp Initiative Fund. This year, $845,000 is helping 47 camps across Alaska provide safe, enriching opportunities for kids and peace of mind for working families.

First hikes. New friends. And the kind of confidence that doesn’t wash off when summer ends
