About Pick.Click.Give.
Pick.Click.Give. was created by the Alaska State Legislature in 2008 to allow Alaskans filing for their PFD online to donate a portion or all of their dividend to eligible charitable and educational organizations. After a three-year pilot project, Pick.Click.Give. became a permanent part of the PFD program. The program was originally managed by the Rasmuson Foundation. The Alaska Community Foundation took over management of the Pick.Click.Give. program in 2015.  In order to maintain sustainability, 7% of all donations collected will go to program marketing, nonprofit tools and resources, and minimal program administration.

This fee is directed to The Alaska Community Foundation, which allows nonprofit organizations to participate in the statewide marketing campaign while minimizing the administrative costs otherwise associated with fundraising.

What is the 7% Coordination Fee?

Starting in 2015, 7% of donations collected by nonprofit organizations were designated by the legislature to be used to fund the Pick.Click.Give. program. These fees contribute to the sustainability of the program while making it possible for smaller and more remote nonprofit organizations to benefit from the marketing campaign.  The fee covers the cost for the statewide program marketing, nonprofit tools and resources, and minimal program marketing. See our Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
