Alaska Sustainable Fisheries Trust, Inc

Our goal is to donate Bristol Bay sockeye to Alaska Native communities suffering (sea)food insecurity and lay the foundation for a network of community fishermen, processors, regional associations, tribes, and individuals committed to building a more resilient and equitable local seafood distribution system. Salmon runs in the Yukon, Kuskokwim, and Chignik river systems indicate ongoing failure, while recording-breaking runs occur in Bristol Bay. 

For every $24 donated, a single salmon is delivered to a family in need; for every $20,000 raised, we are able to purchase, transport, and distribute 2,500 lbs. of sockeye salmon to a community. Our first 2,000 lbs of salmon have shipped to Chignik communities funded by the $60,000 we have raised already. The additional $40,000 will allow us to expand our reach to even more communities.
