Endowment Fund
In 1992, Gov. Walter J. Hickel signed into law the Alaska Heritage Endowment Fund to secure the state's cultural and natural history. Interest from the fund are managed in much the same way as the state's more famous endowment, the Permanent Fund, with dividends distributed to the Alaska State Museums to support the purchase of objects for their collections.
For information on how to contribute to the endowment, contact Chief Curator Addison Field at the Alaska State Museum.
