Together we can prevent child abuse and neglect. Alaska currently has one of the nation’s highest rates (per capita) of child abuse and neglect.

At Alaska Children’s Trust (ACT), we believe every child can grow up safe, happy and able to achieve their dreams. We work toward that by generating funds and committing resources across the state to prevent child abuse and neglect. Research shows this type of trauma has far-reaching negative effects that stretch far into adulthood, and also carries a hefty economic toll. At ACT, we believe we can prevent child abuse and neglect, and help children develop the tools to be resilient in life, by supporting and strengthening families and communities. We do this in a number of ways:

• Advocate. We strive to actively influence public policy in support of strong families and safe children.
• Convene. We are committed to developing collaborative partnerships and leveraging resources to find solutions to a problem that impacts us all. Since inception, we have invested more than $4 million in programs and organizations that support Alaskan children and families.
• Catalyst. Previous attempts to address this issue have had little to no impact. We work to inspire and implement new, innovative ideas to bring about real change. There are many opportunities – both large and small – for you to make a difference in the lives of Alaska’s children. To learn more or get involved, contact us today.

Happy Halloween from the Children’s Trust team! 🎃

"Trevor Storrs, President & CEO of the Alaska Children’s Trust, moderated the forum and noted that Alaska’s economy “depends on families, not just resource development” and asked the candidates how they would support working families and stem the tide of outmigration."

With affordability top of mind this election, Alaska candidates for governor offered varying perspectives on how their administrations would support working families and cap the ongoing tide of outmigration from the state, if elected.
