Standing with Alaskans for 50 years.

Since our founding on October 21, 1974, AKPIRG has been advocating for the public interest in Alaska – and we have much to celebrate after five decades of advocacy.

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate AKPIRG at our 50th Anniversary Celebration and Fundraiser!

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to raise $10,509.20 in grassroots donations last night! This is SO incredible and makes a huge difference — we can’t do our work without our donors, and every donation puts us on the path to our next 50 years. Thank you for your investment not just in AKPIRG, but in a brighter future for Alaska.

We were so glad to see so many familiar faces, and to meet new ones. It was a joy to celebrate our 50th anniversary with all of you, and we look forward to celebrating many more.

If you weren’t able to make it but you’d still like to contribute, consider making a donation:

Sharing 50 years of AKPIRG history directly from our archives.

In the summer 2023, AKPIRG collected dozens of boxes of our archives from the UAA Consortium Library and embarked on the exciting and formidable mission to digitize decades worth of AKPIRG history. For months, our staff has been combing through the AKPIRG archives, and learning so much about AKPIRG's history along the way.

We’re excited to share some of the gems from the archives during our 50th Anniversary Year! Follow AKPIRG on social media for more trips down memory lane.
