The New Law
In May 2008, the Alaska Legislature passed House Bill 166 that sets up the PFD Charitable Contributions Program, or Pick.Click.Give. The law allows Alaskans filing for their PFD online to donate all or part of their dividend to the campuses of the University of Alaska, community foundations, and eligible charitable and educational organizations.
The law was established for three years, after which it will "sunset" unless the legislature acts to renew it. The program goal is to increase the dollars generated by individual giving and the number of new donors to nonprofit organizations. Pick.Click.Give. provides a way for donors to support organizations they care about.
Increasing individual charitable giving is the most effective way to create long-term sustainability for Alaska's nonprofits so they are able to carry out their missions in the community. Pick.Click.Give. provides a safe and secure way for Alaskans to make a contribution and help build sustainable organizations.
