Our Mission
BAF is committed to bridging political divides, advocating for landmark legislation and critical infrastructure investments that drive economic growth, ensure safety and security, and enhance the quality of life for all Alaskans. We celebrate Alaska’s unique heritage while embracing modernization, connecting communities, and fostering resilience and sustainability for future generations.
Our Impact
Build Alaska’s Future (BAF) was established to enhance public trust in government and institutions crucial for Alaska’s development. Our Infrastructure Funding Map empowers Alaskans by providing clear access to local projects and funding opportunities, bridging critical information gaps. This ongoing GIS mapping project details infrastructure development, funding sources, and project impacts, ensuring that all Alaskans can participate in building a better future.
By promoting transparency and community engagement, BAF ensures that the benefits of infrastructure development reach every corner of the state, fostering equitable growth and enhancing decision-making for the well-being of all Alaskans.
Our Framework
Build Alaska’s Future is managed by two distinct funds dedicated to education and advocacy. These funds work independently to maximize impact, offering a clear pathway for contributors to support crucial initiatives that align with their goals and interests.
Build Alaska’s Future Education Fund (BAFEF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit focusing on educating Alaskans about the opportunities and benefits of federal funding. BAFEF works to contextualize the funding and share real Alaskans’ stories about what the funding means to them and their communities.
Build Alaska’s Future Action Fund (BAFAF) is a 501(c)4 formed to help keep the conversation “on the rails” through education focused on the benefits of the bipartisan infrastructure law. BAFAF also engages in advocacy to promote policies that support enhanced bipartisan and active public engagement.
