Right now, across Alaska, important stories are unfolding — stories that shape how we understand our communities, our challenges, and what comes next.

Some of these stories are difficult. Some are easy to miss. All of them take time, persistence, and a commitment to getting it right.

Reporting over the past six months has brought attention to:

Leaks, mold, cold, sewage plague Anchorage apartments after California landlord took over

‘Hiding better’: A complicated reality as Anchorage says it’s making progress on persistent homelessness

Anchorage firefighters grapple with burnout and injuries as call volumes climb

Each of these stories requires more than a headline. They took time to follow, voices to gather, and a willingness to stay with the issue.

That work is happening now — but it depends on support. Consider making a tax-deductible contribution today to help strengthen Alaska.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 by September 30th to sustain and expand this kind of reporting across Alaska. Whether you choose to make a one-time gift or invest monthly, your tax-deductible support helps ensure these stories continue — and that the next ones are not left untold.

If you prefer to donate by check, you can make your donation payable to Local Media Foundation and include "Anchorage Daily News" on the memo line. Check donations should be mailed to:

Contributions can be made in other forms too, such as stock transfers, corporate matching gifts and legacy clauses.

Thank you for being part of this work.
