Support Alaska Native Art & Artists

Your donation helps build and sustain a free statewide platform that connects, celebrates, and uplifts Alaska Native artists across generations and geographies.

The Alaska Native Arts Directory is more than a website, it’s a movement to ensure that Alaska Native artists have access to the visibility, tools, and opportunities they deserve. From carvers and weavers to musicians, performers, and storytellers, this directory offers a place for their work to be seen, shared, and valued.

By supporting this effort, you’re investing in both cultural preservation and economic growth — helping artists expand their reach, strengthening local economies, and ensuring that Alaska Native creativity remains a vital part of our state’s prosperity. 

Levels of Support

Every contribution makes a difference — and every donor will be fully recognized. 

$250 – Community Friend 
Your gift keeps the Directory free and accessible for artists statewide. It supports platform maintenance, artist enrollment, and outreach to rural and urban communities that have historically lacked access to digital tools and markets. 

$1,000 – Cultural Partner 
This level provides professional media support — photography, videography, and storytelling — to help artists present their work professionally. It also assists with translation and technology resources so artists across Alaska can participate equitably. 

$2,500 – Economic Catalyst 
Your contribution funds artist engagement workshops, business training, and digital skills development that transform creativity into income and community resilience. This level directly fuels Alaska’s growing creative economy. 

$5,000 – Founding Supporter 
As a Founding Supporter, your investment drives statewide promotion, storytelling, and collaborations between artists, buyers, and institutions. You’ll help expand the Directory toward its goal of 1,000 participating artists and strengthen this vital economic sector across Alaska. 

$10,000 – Leadership Circle 
Leadership Circle members make transformative investments that shape Alaska’s creative future. Your support helps plan and launch the first-ever Alaska Native Arts Economic Summit in 2026, enhance technology and data tools, and ensure the Directory’s long-term sustainability. 

Visionary Partners — $25,000 and Above
For those who wish to make a lasting impact, we welcome Visionary Partners to join us in shaping the future of Alaska Native arts through custom partnership agreements. These major contributors help expand the Directory’s reach nationally and internationally, support advanced storytelling and data innovation, and strengthen Alaska’s Indigenous creative economy for generations to come. 

If you or your organization are interested in joining as a Visionary Partner, please contact us directly at info@aknativearts.org or (907) 258-ANAF to discuss partnership opportunities and recognition plans tailored to your goals. 

Recognition

All donors will be acknowledged on the Alaska Native Arts Foundation website and in future program materials. Founding Supporters and above will also be recognized across our events, communications, and outreach highlighting Alaska’s vibrant Indigenous arts economy. 

Join us in building a stronger, more connected Alaska — one that recognizes Alaska Native arts as both a cultural treasure and a cornerstone of our state’s economic future.
