Check out this email forward from our friend Trevor Storrs with the Alaskan Aids Assistance Association. This message is from an unknown Alaskan author, and it’s definitely worth passing along. When you sign up for your PFD this year, please remember to Pick.Click.Give!

"This may surprise you.  Did you know that here, in one of the most abundant states in the Union, there are 85,000 Alaskans who don’t know where their next meal will come from, 3,800 children suffering from abuse or neglect, and the average age of our homeless is nine years old?

Alaskans who file for their Permanent Fund Dividend online are now able to give all or part to qualifying nonprofit organizations. With Pick.Click.Give., one person can start a movement. If we all work together, we can make significant change in our state.

Last year Pick. Click. Give. raised $545,000 from 5,100 Alaskans, making it the second largest fundraising effort in Alaska. This year, we want to double this success.

Be part of the movement. Commit to give part of your dividend to at least one organization this year ($25 minimum).  If each filer gives just $25, together we can raise $15 million.

See this year’s Pick. Click. Give. video on YouTube and be part of the movement. And pass it on."

Happy Holidays!
