What it reported doing in 2024
Public safety services - with funding from the state of Alaska, apia provides village public safety officers (vpsos)to the aleutian pribilof regional communities. Vpsos perform law enforcement duties and are first responders to many types of emergencies, to include but not limited to, fire, medical, and search and rescue. In collaboration with usafv in unalaska, the family violence grant provides funds for immediate shelter and support services to adult and youth victims and their dependents, of family violence, domestic violence, or dating violence, while also providing funds for prevention training and services.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 87% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
