Securing Alaska's Future: A Stronger Permanent Fund for Everyone

The Current Crisis

Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) has been a lifeline for many families, but recent years have seen it shrink to an all-time low of $1,000. This has left many Alaskans struggling to make ends meet.

The Main Issue

Oil prices have dropped
The state's budget relies heavily on them

The Solution: A Protected Endowment

The Permanent Fund was meant to be a safety net, a way to share Alaska's wealth with its people. But over the years, it's been raided and mismanaged.

Key Changes Needed

Combine the Earnings Reserve and principal into one account that's off-limits to politicians.
Set a sustainable draw limit to prevent the Fund from being drained.

Why a Protected Endowment?

The current system is broken. It's unpredictable and unreliable.

Benefits of a Protected Endowment

Allows the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation to invest more aggressively.
Leads to higher returns and larger dividends over time.
Any changes to the Fund should require a direct vote from the people.

The Future of Alaska

Alaska is a great place to raise a family. But to keep it that way, the Permanent Fund needs to be strengthened.

The Goal

Make the Fund unbreakable.
Ensure every Alaskan can count on a reliable dividend, no matter what happens in the oil market.
