Application Instructions for 2013 Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend Charitable Contribution Program

Under Alaska Statute 43.23.062

The State of Alaska has enacted legislation which allows Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) recipients to direct a portion or all of their PFD to qualified educational or charitable organizations, or community foundations. Agencies wishing to be considered for inclusion on the list of qualified organizations for the 2013 PFD must timely submit this application and the required documentation. Applications, payment and required documentation received or postmarked after March 31, 2012 will be denied.

The application is not complete until a signature page, payment and non-electronic documents are SUBMITTED BY MAIL. Please follow all eight steps.

Required Documentation:
Your application will be denied if it is not complete or submitted without ALL of the required documentation.

• A complete application form (either print or the following online form).

If the 990 / 990 EZ / 990N has not been completed for that fiscal year, provide the IRS granted extension plus the IRS 990 / 990EZ / 990N for the previous fiscal year.
