Pick. Click. Give. Hits 10,000 Pledge Mark

Alaska's Pick. Click. Give. charitable contributions program has hit a new milestone. More than 10,000 donations have been pledged to qualifying nonprofit organizations, community foundations or campuses of the University of Alaska participating in the program.

So far, 6,990 individuals have made 10,207 pledges to the 360 organizations participating in the program. As of Monday, a total of 432,992 PFD applications had been filed online. Alaskans still have 23 days to file for their PFD, before the March 31st deadline.

The percentage of Alaskans who are choosing to give has remained steady at nearly 2 percent of all PFD filers. Nearly half of those filing are choosing to support more than one organization. Last year, approximately 1 percent of filers, or about 5,100 Alaskans participated in the program, donating a total of $550,000.
