Overview

Mission

Nea-Alaska exists to be an advocate for an excellent public education for each child in Alaska and to advance the interests of public school employees.

What it reported doing in 2024

Contract maintenance and enforcement - nea-Alaska provides support to local affiliates' efforts to maintain and enforce the collective bargaining agreements they have bargained with their employer. Support includes direct advice and counsel to local leadership and membership, representation of the local and or its members at various meetings with the employer for the purpose of resolving contractual disputes, and the full spectrum of representation in arbitral and other administrative proceedings.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 77% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
