Build Alaska's Future

Strengthening Trust and Empowering Communities

Why We exist

Build Alaska’s Future strengthens public trust, activates a thriving civic workforce, and equips Alaska communities for good governance by delivering transparent, accessible information. Through ClerkStart and our other initiatives, such as the Reverse Outward Migration, Rural Workforce Development, and the Alaska Governance Project, we center the stories on how public service translates into everyday impact.

Our flagship tool, an interactive GIS mapping portal, maps over 3,000 federal projects across Alaska, connecting infrastructure funding to people and places. This human-centered view promotes transparency, civic engagement, and workforce development by showing how investment touches real communities. Explore billions of dollars in federal infrastructure funding across the state through the map below.
