Overview
Mission
To support the artistic development of writers throughout Alaska, foster a writing community, and build an audience for literature.
What it reported doing in 2024
Writing instruction. Courses ranged from weekly to single day engagements presented in person and online. Instruction was supplemented by numerous literary events and a collaborative blog.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 67% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
